Reviews

"""[...] Behler points out that “space and time” are themes found throughout the book’s chapters and that the transformative work of instruction program development is “incremental and cumulative”. Additional themes include the importance of support from library administration in program development, aligning program goals with those of the larger institution, and the ways in which information literacy can be integrated throughout the higher education curriculum and community in partnership with university programs and committees. Further, several chapters mention librarian workload and the need for rethinking information literacy delivery models to promote sustainability and more effective opportunities for learning at the students’ point of need. Though aimed at instruction coordinators, this volume includes insightful reflections and examples that can inspire any academic librarian whose responsibilities include instruction and offers ideas that can be adopted in a wide variety of institutions and contexts."" ~ Amanda Dinscore, Cal Poly Humboldt (COMMUNICATIONS IN INFORMATION LITERACY | VOL. 17, NO. 2, 2023, Article 14, p590)"
