Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThe manual's strength is its non-prescriptive yet highly practical stance—while highlighting the necessity for all librarians to become skilled workplace trainers and information literacy advocates, it offers plenty of options and possibilities to do this using the music library context as a starting point. Full of interesting ideas, its multifaceted, systematic approach allows the practitioner to consider adopting relevant models and adapting them as they see fit to their own library. * Australian Library Journal *

Abromeit presents an overview of a program for training undergraduate students to serve as reference assistants. -- Cathleen Bourdon * American Libraries *
