Drawing on both theory and practice, this book is a thorough and nuanced examination of second-language learning and librarianship and will be a vital contribution to the field. -- Heidi L. M. Jacobs, Information Literacy Librarian, University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada\u003cbr\u003eWhile much has been written about library services for international students, this book draws needed attention to information literacy development with language learning in mind. Bordonaro’s broad perspective as an expert in both library science and second language learning helps to demystify some of the language-related challenges that together with differences in academic culture and experience, limit the effective use of libraries by many international students. . . .Especially notable is Bordonaro’s advocacy for non-native English speakers’ library learning while they are still learning the language. One of this book’s fundamental points is that language learners should not be regarded as a problem to the library but rather as legitimate users with different needs, which libraries should work together with language programs to meet. ESL students need comprehensive, systematic curriculum-driven practice with library use, not just an add-on to upper-level writing classes. ESL students will benefit from the experiential content-based language learning approach that Bordonaro describes, and so will students who are beginning academic studies while they continue to need some language support. . . .Language instructors, program administrators, and librarians working in a university setting will find this book worthwhile as a resource for planning library instruction for ESL students and other language learners. Making the book available in university libraries for practitioners to read, discuss, and act upon will certainly benefit English language learners pursuing higher education in North America. * Technical Services Quarterly *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: What is Library Learning?
