Overview

Pervasive in our language use, overlooked in their power, metaphors offer a new way to think about information literacy instruction. This short book introduces metaphors as a creative approach to teaching information literacy by drawing on existing concepts and making instruction more meaningful to your learners. Starting with everyday metaphor use, readers will engage with how metaphors work, explore new and existing metaphors in information literacy, and draw connections to applications in the classroom.

Illuminating, evidence-based, essential (review on Amazon): This straightforward guide led me out of the dark land of forgettable text-filled power points, and into a breathtaking instruction landscape where students ride the edge of their seats through each session. Both practical and stimulating, Ms. Brown repaints the information literacy instruction paradigm with George Lakoff's linguistic theory as her brush. Pleasant side effects include plenty of chuckles along the way, and changes in the way I share ideas with colleagues, family, and friends. I highly recommend this book to all instructors looking to add flavor and dimension to their instruction. Your students will thank you.
