Future Teaching Roles for Academic Librarians by Alice Harrison Bahr Pdf

Redefine your role as an academic librarian in a world of networked information! Future Teaching Roles for Academic Librarians helps you understand how the librarian can play a central role in the new university paradigm. In the past few years, the focus of higher education has begun to shift from the traditional, passive lecture-discussion where teachers talk and students listen to a new model that emphasizes student-centered, collaborative learning in all contexts, not just formal classroom situations. Academic libraries and librarians must adapt to meet the demands of this new educational motif or else fall behind. This book offers an overview of the kinds of library service that will be required, from helping students learn to use bibliographic databases to real-time online interactive information assistance--the cyber equivalent of the reference desk. You will learn practical techniques to facilitate information literacy and the principles of creating a seamless learning culture. One area in which libraries must provide new services is in helping students learn to manage the flood of available data. Though many students are familiar with the online universe, they don't know how to design artful information-seeking strategies either there or in the more traditional venues of printed books and journals, microfilm, and pamphlets. Librarians can teach skills beyond basic information retrieval, including evaluation, critical thinking, and building a successful research strategy. These skills are more crucial than ever, not just to help students write term papers, but to prepare them for the kind of jobs they will face in an information-based economy. Future Teaching Roles for Academic Librarians provides you with practical suggestions for transforming traditional library instruction, including: rethinking assumptions about students’needs and behavior designing courses for students at different levels making the transition to libraries without walls creating core resources to promote information literacy ensuring that library programs and collections are visible to users This vital guide offers college librarians and library administrators the specific techniques you need to create a seamless learning environment, take on new roles and challenges, and meet the needs of students in an era of networked information and instant access.

Hyacinth and the Secrets Beneath by Jacob Sager Weinstein Pdf

The hilarious first book in a middle-grade fantasy trilogy about the magical rivers that run through the sewers of London and shape history in ways you'd never learn in school. Magic is real. History is a big, fat lie. Hyacinth Hayward’s mother has just been kidnapped by lumpy gray monsters in post office uniforms. But why? Well, before Hyacinth moved from Illinois to London, she read up on the city’s history. Too bad for her. Because the books are wrong. The truth is, London was built on magical rivers, and all the major events in its past have been about people trying to control the magic. And her family is somehow tied to it. In the chase to get her mom back, Hyacinth encounters a giant intelligent pig in a bathing suit, a boy with amnesia, an adorable tosher (whatever that is), a sarcastic old lady, and a very sketchy unicorn. Somehow Hyacinth has to figure out who to trust, so she can save her mom and, oh yeah, not cause a second Great Fire of London.

Leading from the Library by Shannon McClintock Miller,William Bass Pdf

Written by a seasoned librarian and an education leader, this book guides librarians in becoming leaders in their school communities, with strategies on developing partnerships, empowering students and more. The modern school library supports education in a variety of ways. One essential role librarians play is that of a leader who works collaboratively to build relationships, mold culture and climate, and advocate for the needs of students and the community. In this book, a librarian and an education leader team up to reflect on the librarian’s ability to build connections in two ways. First, they discuss the benefits of bringing the outside world into the library through the use of social media, videoconferencing and other tools that allow librarians to partner with others. Then they expand upon these connections by addressing how librarians can lead in the greater educational community by sharing resources and strategies, and partnering with school leaders to tell the story of the school community. This book will: • Highlight the potential of librarians to empower their students, their schools and their communities, and be learning leaders in the digital age. • Include stories of partnerships – from librarians and administrators – illustrating how they can collaborate to create change by harnessing the influence of the school library program to enhance the educational experience. • Explore how librarians serve as mentors to their students, delving into many topics that define digital age literacy, including the librarian’s role in reading advocacy, information validity, digital citizenship and research. • Make direct connections to the ISTE Standards for Students, Educators and Education Leaders in each chapter. Through this book, librarians will discover the influence they can have on the school community as the library becomes the heart of the school, a place where problems are solved, content is explored, connections are made and discovery happens.

Librarians and Educators Collaborating for Success by Marcia A. Mardis Pdf

The first in the IASL-Libraries Unlimited partnership series, this book features contributions written by authors from around the world about their effective collaboration experiences. Collaboration between teachers and school librarians is a topic that is often discussed in the quest for educational excellence, but the international perspective is something that is rarely explored. This text documents the collaboration endeavors in international school libraries and—drawing upon research and direct experience—demonstrates effective collaboration experiences in a range of countries. It also features selected brief case studies as well as several original essays on the topic of collaboration between teachers and teacher librarians in curriculum planning. The result of a joint effort between Libraries Unlimited and the International Association of School Librarianship (IASL), this book shows how collaboration with teachers looks in the international arena. It addresses topics such as collaborating for success with student searching, the roles of librarians and teachers in the research process, principal involvement, information literacy, inquiry-based learning, use of digital resources, models of collaboration for diversity, and evaluation of collaboration. Additionally, the current research findings presented will offer readers new insights into their profession.
