Online Instruction: A Practical Guide for Librarians provides an overview of online instruction, teaching, and programming in all types of libraries. It features actionable steps for starting and improving online programs.
Starting with the history of online instruction and moving into creating a personal pedagogy, establishing organizational policies and procedures, and tips for general programming, author Emily Mroczek features specific examples from librarians to help readers find their way in the digital world. Public librarians, school librarians, and special librarians are featured with experiences and tips that can be modified and applied to any library setting. Ideas exist to help librarians learn from successes and mistakes and establish an engaged and productive online learning community.
Mroczek identifies the pros and cons of different options available for online instructions, tips and tricks for engaging various audiences and strategies for hybrid learning.
Technical tips include pros and cons of various online platforms and streaming services, an in-depth look at Zoom and a guide to evaluate and recommend specific digital resources in categories from content curation to games to calendars and scheduling.
Guidelines for navigating copyright law and staying up-to-date with accessibility standards serve as an educational starting point for librarians, managers, and program designers.
As technology, online instruction, and librarianship continue to evolve, this book will help librarians navigate the ever-changing functions and offer better instruction for their communities.
