A concise, practical guide to effectively teaching current and future
librarians in graduate programs, professional settings, and beyond.
Many librarians are thrust into positions where they are asked to
teach colleagues. Others choose to share their knowledge and
experience by preparing the next generation of librarians in graduate
programs. However, few such librarians have received any formal
education in instructional design. In this book, Melissa A. Wong, an
expert instructional designer, helps information professionals to
prepare for their roles as teachers of current and future librarians.
Covering topics that range from syllabus construction to evaluation
and student feedback, the book offers practical guidance on how to
communicate with and support learners and how to come up with
assignments and grade them, along with advice on accessibility issues
and working with technologies such as LMS, OER, videos, and
PowerPoint. It demonstrates how to adapt principles of effective
teaching to settings including workshops, professional development
courses, conference presentations, and staff training. It also
discusses professional challenges such as managing workload and shows
how to adapt formal coursework to informal teaching situations.
Librarians who wish to learn new methods or improve on their teaching
and course design skills should read this book.
