The rampant nature of technology has caused a shift in information
seeking behaviors. In addition, current trends such as evidence
based medicine and information literacy mean that one time
instructional sessions cannot provide our patrons with all of the
skills they need. For this reason, many librarians are working to
develop curriculum based instruction that is semester long or
consisting of many sessions throughout an academic program. In
addition to teaching, librarians are also becoming embedded in the
curriculums they support by serving as web-based course designers,
problem-based learning facilitators, or members of curriculum
committees. Although it is fairly obvious that library instruction
is important and that librarians should be equipped to provide this
instruction, the majority of ALA accredited programs offer only one
course on library instruction, the courses are only available as
electives, and they are often only offered once a year. Librarians
need to gain their instructional experiences through real life
experiences, mentors, and of course, books like this one. Many
books commonly discuss one-shot sessions and provide tips for
getting the most out of that type of instruction. There are not as
many that discuss curriculum based instruction in a section, let
alone an entire book. Curriculum-Based Library Instruction: From
Cultivating Faculty Relationships to Assessment highlights the
movement beyond one-shot instruction sessions, specifically
focusing on situations where academic librarians have developed
curriculum based sessions and/or become involved in curriculum
committees. This volume describes and provides examples of
librarians varied roles in the curriculum of education programs.
These roles include semester long or multi-session instructor,
web-based course designer, problem-based learning facilitator, and
member of a curriculum committee. In addition to describing the
roles that librarians have in supporting curriculum, the book
describes how to carry out those roles with sections devoted to
adult learning theory, teaching methods, developing learning
objectives, and working with faculty to develop curriculum.
Examples of library sessions devoted to information literacy,
evidence based practice, information literacy, and biomedical
informatics are included. This book is not limited to one mode of
delivering information and covers examples of face to face,
distance and blended learning initiatives."
