Description
Tracing the historical development of information literacy skills instruction, Information Literacy and Information Skills Instruction supports best practices for today's librarians.
Information Literacy and Information Skills Instruction, Fifth Edition, provides insights on improving instruction across contexts drawn from the scholarly literatures of library and information studies, education, communication, psychology, and sociology. This text is useful to school, academic, and public librarians and library and information science students. In the new edition, special attention is given to recent studies of information seeking during the tumultuous times of the pandemic, racial upheaval, and increased censorship. The effects of trauma-informed teaching, the science of reading, and artificial intelligence on the library world are also included. Gen Alpha is added to the previous edition's discussion of generations X, Y, and Z.
Readers will appreciate using updated research to establish best practices in their libraries, LIS classes, and research studies.
