Description
Book SynopsisFraming Healthcare instruction: An Information Literacy Handbook for the Health Sciences is a step-by-step guide to integrating the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy into health sciences librarianship. Although this topic has been touched on briefly in previous publications, this book is dedicated exclusively to the unique considerations of the health sciences. With over fifty case studies describing explicit lesson plans and assessments, health sciences librarians who may be new to the Framework or are looking for ready-made lesson plans will find this guide easy to navigate and to apply to their own educational sessions. Multiple disciplines are covered, including: nursing, medicine, allied health, veterinary medicine, and more. In addition to the practical application of the case studies, the books covers in depth each part of the Framework and how it relates to students in the health science
Trade ReviewYoung and Hinton have done it! They’ve created a theoretical and practical book on information literacy that solo librarians or academic librarians can use to teach their constituents. It is easy to read and easy to apply what they’ve written anywhere, anytime! -- Jeffrey Coghill, outreach librarian and director, Eastern AHEC Library Services, Laupus Library, East Carolina University, Greenville, NC and Co-editor, Developing Librarian Competencies for the Digital Age, edited by Jeffrey Coghill and Roger Russell
This is a masterful work that will serve as an indispensable tool for any health sciences librarian—from novice to expert—that is involved in and dedicated to vitally important library instruction in information literacy competencies for students in progressively advanced populations (undergraduate, graduate, post-graduate and professional). Well-written and highly readable, this is highly recommended. -- Claire B. Joseph, MS, MA, AHIP Director, Medical Library, South Nassau Communities Hospital
