Written by a team of library instructors whose “experience and expertise in this field is evident throughout” (VOYA), this one-stop starter kit has been praised as “a solid overview of academic instruction librarianship for both supervisors and novices” (Library Journal). Now the authors have updated it to better address differing perspectives and experiences in librarianship while thoroughly reflecting the significant ways in which the field has changed since the book’s first edition in 2016. Easing the transition into library instruction while supporting all those involved, including supervisors, colleagues, and trainees, this hands-on workbook

incorporates research on teaching and learning from numerous disciplines, including but not limited to library literature, that has been sharpened and refreshed for this edition;
guides readers through training a new colleague or someone new to instruction, complete with reflection questions, sample lesson pans, activities, and advice from experts throughout the field;
explores the different roles an instruction librarian is usually expected to play, such as colleague, instructional designer, teaching partner, advocate, project manager, and learner;
adopts a person-centered approach to the role, with new chapters on critical information literacy and sustainable practices; and
provides tips on self-assessment, self-care, resiliency, and continuing education, both formal and informal, to set readers on a successful path of teaching, learning, and professional growth.
