Good introduction to planning, preparing, and delivery library instruction,

This review is from: Training Library Patrons the Addie Way (Paperback)
Many librarians working in academic environments today didn't have training in library school about delivering instruction, yet are being required to more and more. If you haven't time to take courses on curriculum design, delivering instruction, and other such techniques necessary to do a good job, I say read this book.I personally found it a fast read because I was already familiar with the concepts covered, but that's not to say the book wasn't good. In fact, I'd recommend it to any librarian who needs to learn RIGHT NOW how to deliver instruction. I think a lot of librarians will find that Wegener's use of the ADDIE method of instructional design both applicable and effective in the design and delivery of library instruction. I'm very happy with my purchase and have added this book to my permanent collection for ready reference or for lending to colleagues.
