Instructional Identities and Information LiteracyVolume 3: Transforming Student Learning, Information Seeking, and Experiences\nAuthor(s): Amanda Nichols Hess\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Association of College & Research Libraries, United States\nImprint: Association of College & Research Libraries\nISBN-13: 9780838939482, 978-0838939482\nSynopsis\nAre librarians teachers? Many academic librarians enter teaching roles with limited experience or education in instruction, discovering how to engage students in learning from their own observations, trial-and-error, or professional learning opportunities.\n Grappling with this potentially unexpected identity comes amid a time of significant transition for higher education itself. Academic librarians must figure out how to counter mis-, dis-, and malinformation, address shrinking funding for collections while costs increase, and establish meaningful partnerships in diverse, data-driven environments. And writ large, librarianship.
