Reviews

New Methods of Teaching and Learning for Librarians is a must read for any librarian involved in teaching, whether they are in an academic setting or elsewhere. Gleason identifies critical access points where librarians can intersect in their communities to provide meaningful and relevant instruction, either in-person or using digital media. She also describes today's learners so that librarians can adapt their teaching methods to meet current needs. The book goes on to address how library spaces contribute to teaching and learning. Lastly, there are practical examples and context to which the reader can readily relate. -- Gail Kouame, Chair, Research & Education Services at Augusta University, Robert B. Greenblatt, M.D. Library Ann Gleason's new book New Methods of Teaching and Learning for Librarians strongly makes the case for librarians teaching information literacy in the library but also partnering and collaborating with faculty to teach key critical thinking skills within the curriculum. Early chapters lay a strong foundation of educational philosophy and theory; later chapters tie practical examples back to this foundation. A good practical read for librarians embarking on public service and teaching journeys. -- Terry Ann Jankowski, MLS, AHIP, FMLA, Librarian Emerita, University of Washington Health Sciences Library
