Description: From Library Journal
The information literacy of their patrons has become a central concern of librarians in the Information Age. This is a timely guide for librarians in academic libraries to plan, implement, develop, and evaluate information literacy programs. The authors, both veterans in the field, believe that the success of such a program lies in the active interaction and close rapport with teaching faculties. Although slim, the manual on every page is revealing and full of insight and practical wisdom. It touches upon several delivery methods such as a course unit, a stand-alone session, and a credit course and compares the merits and drawbacks of each format. With attachments of many ready-to-use surveys, assignments, syllabi, evaluation forms, and even a sample proposal for information literacy programs, this book will find many readers among practicing bibliographic instruction librarians.
