Book SynopsisTrade ReviewWhat ground-breaking work. If only those holding the faculty development purse-strings would read it, digest the implications for student growth and retention, and then resource well-designed FD initiatives to improve student learning.
-- Tim Doherty
This book is highly recommended and has implications for any library who provides faculty development in the form of workshops or consultation services. It also provides a useful context to engage campus discussions about information literacy. The authors end their study with a useful discussion of strategies that can make professional development more effective.
