About this title

Reviews

Far from eliminating the need for training, information technology increases the importance of library instruction in helping users develop efficient search techniques and learning how to select the most appropriate databases. Library directors, public services heads, and reference staff are among those who should add this collection of instructional materials to their required reading lists. Consider it a strategic manual for coping with the ongoing flood of technology and the rising tide of bewildered patrons. Instructional design theory and the benefits of comparative learning are discussed. Practical techniques are shared for distance education needs, faculty-focused Internet orientations, and other user-centered instruction. Carol Tenopir's keynote observations are on target: these are exciting times for instructional librarians. The trick is keeping your balance while helping others develop new information skills. The National Library Orientation-Instruction Exchange has provided a useful tool for practitioners and food for thought for managers. Recommended.
