Written specifically for academic librarians and library
administrators, this book identifies the myriad benefits of
peer-assisted learning, exploring how the implementation of
peer-assisted learning benefits information literacy instruction,
cocurricular outreach, and reference services. In this era of
accountability—and stretched budgets—in higher education,
librarians need to make instructional programming both highly
effective and sustainable. Peer-assisted learning is a methodology
that has long been accepted in teaching but is relatively new as
applied to academic library instruction, outreach, and reference.
This book brings together the most innovative applications of
peer-assisted learning in these contexts, explaining specific ways
to apply peer-assisted learning in a variety of academic library
settings for maximum benefit. This guidebook begins with an
extensive literature review of the theoretical underpinnings of
peer-assisted learning and the various benefits these programs can
provide academic librarians and peer mentors. The bulk of the
book's content is organized into three sections that address the
subjects of information literacy instruction, cocurricular
outreach, and reference services separately. Each section showcases
real-world examples of peer-assisted learning at a variety of
academic institutions. Through these case studies, readers can
fully understand the development, implementation, and assessment of
a peer-assisted learning program, and librarians and administrators
will see the practical benefits of enriching the experiences of
student employees. Practitioners will receive inspiration and
guidance through chapters that discuss training activities,
identify lessons learned, and explain the implications for further
research.
