Book Synopsis
Library instruction is like acting: There’s a live audience; you may be doing a one-shot, limited engagement, or play to the same crowd repeatedly. This book captures how acting techniques can sharpen your instructional skills and establish your teaching identity, enliven your performance, and create an invigorating learning experience.
