New Book is Here: How to Teach: A Practical Guide for Librarians

It's finally here--How to Teach: A Practical Guide for Librarians!  It's available from the publisher Rowman & Littlefield at https://www.rowman.com/ISBN/9780810891050/ and also on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Beverley-E.-Crane/e/B001K8SK7Q.  Librarians in public, academic and special libraries are finding that teaching is becoming an integral part of their job description.  Librarians graduating from library schools are being asked about their teaching philosophy when they apply for jobs.

I wrote this book to provide the information you need to teach 1:1, in small groups, a classroom setting or online.  I've also included tips and lessons on creating self-paced materials--videos, Pinterest and LibGuides.  How to Teach available as an e-book or in print.  Check it out!
