Academic librarians working in instruction are at the crux of
professional, higher educational, and societal change. While they
work with disciplinary faculty to ensure learners are critical
information consumers and producers in 21st century ways, how do
academic librarians develop a sense of their own identities as
post-secondary instructors? Using both broad and in-depth data from
practicing instruction librarians, this book identifies the
catalysts and influences in academic librarians' perspective
development process. From these factors, then, instruction
librarians and librarians-to-be can hone their own instructional
identities and transform their teaching practices. This focus on
understanding this perspective transformation process around
instructional identities offers both working academic librarians
and LIS graduate students an innovative way to think about their
roles as educators. While many books explore the practical or
how-to aspects of teaching in libraries, Transforming Academic
Librarianship: How to Hone Your Instructional Identity and Adopt
Best Teaching Practice takes a step up and examines how academic
librarians think about or approach instruction as a part of their
work. Through explicating this metacognitive process, this book
helps both academic librarians and librarians-to-be to more
intentionally consider their teaching practices and professional
identities.
