Teaching Information Literacy through Faculty Development de Jane Hammons

Teaching Information Literacy through Faculty Development: Libraries Unlimited Series for Teaching Information Literacy Today

Autor Jane Hammons
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 ian 2026

Notăm cu interes apariția volumului Teaching Information Literacy through Faculty Development, o resursă metodologică esențială pentru bibliotecarii din mediul academic care caută să depășească limitările pedagogice ale sesiunilor izolate de instruire. Structura materialului este concepută pentru a facilita o tranziție strategică: primele capitole definesc abordarea centrată pe dezvoltarea cadrelor didactice, urmate de o analiză a argumentelor și a potențialelor rețineri, culminând cu strategii practice pentru implementarea și menținerea unui program sustenabil la nivel de campus. Prin acest parcurs, Jane Hammons oferă un cadru de lucru care prioritizează colaborarea cu profesorii universitari pentru a integra alfabetizarea informațională direct în curriculum.

Comparabil cu The One-Shot Library Instruction Survival Guide în ceea ce privește rigoarea pedagogică, volumul de față este actualizat pentru un context educațional în care volumul de informații și complexitatea nevoilor studenților depășesc capacitatea unei singure ore de bibliotecă. În timp ce lucrări precum Maximizing the One-Shot caută soluții pentru a eficientiza sesiunea unică, Jane Hammons propune o schimbare radicală de paradigmă: bibliotecarul devine un formator de formatori. Această abordare „train the trainers” permite scalarea impactului educațional, transformând bibliotecarii din instructori ocazionali în parteneri strategici în designul cursurilor. Textul se distinge prin realism, abordând direct schimbarea de mentalitate necesară și oferind exemple concrete din literatură pentru a susține fezabilitatea acestui model în bibliotecile moderne.

Descriere

Provides an approach to information literacy centered around faculty development to support academic librarians in building more scalable, sustainable, and impactful information literacy programs.

Academic librarians devote significant effort to teaching information literacy, often in "one-shot" sessions. However, the one-shot has received criticism for its pedagogical ineffectiveness and its impact on librarians' professional status and personal well-being.

This resource provides an overview of an alternative approach, the faculty-focused model, also known as the "teach the teachers" or "train the trainers" approach. In this model, librarians concentrate their efforts primarily on faculty development, which has the potential to allow them to develop more scalable, sustainable, and impactful information literacy programs. This practical guide explores the benefits and concerns associated with the model, gives examples of library-led faculty development initiatives and librarian involvement in campus-level faculty development, and offers recommendations for building faculty development into an information literacy program. Librarians will appreciate the book's guidance on making the mental shift necessary to adopt a more faculty-focused approach and its willingness to address concerns that librarians may have about the model.

Recenzii

Jane Hammons has gifted us with a practical, well-researched plan to enable librarians to enter the development field with confidence. As a leader in faculty information literacy instruction development, her deep understanding of both librarian and faculty culture makes the prospect of librarians doing faculty development both possible and inviting. Well done!
In this much-needed book, Hammons offers a carefully crafted argument for information literacy through faculty development that is grounded in research and supported by clear and practical examples to help librarians put the advice into action.
In her new book, Jane Hammons enters the dialogue around the critique of one-shots with a sharp-eyed, deeply informed guide for what comes next. Part manifesto, part practical roadmap, this book reimagines information literacy through the lens of faculty development with clarity, nuance, and zero illusions of easy fixes. Teaching Information Literacy through Faculty Development examines the assumptions behind traditional library instruction and makes a compelling case for faculty development as a forward-looking, sustainable alternative. Hammons doesn't romanticize faculty development as a singular solution, but rather as a strategic approach that aligns with the evolving role of librarians as partners in teaching and learning. Drawing on scholarly literature, case studies, and her own professional experience, Hammons charts a flexible, practical path forward that is rooted in relationships, pedagogy, and lasting impact.

Whether you're a new librarian or a seasoned professional, this book delivers a versatile blueprint that is adaptable to pedagogical models such as the ACRL Framework, Informed Learning, Backward Design, or Decoding the Disciplines. At its core, the book offers a persuasive answer to a pressing question: What becomes of the librarian's instructional role as we move beyond the one-shot? Hammons' response centers around librarians as educational partners who prioritize relational work, curricular integration, and meaningful impact on student learning. Anyone using Hammons' guide will realize that shifting our focus to faculty development doesn't have to mean letting go of our educational mission, but it might just be how we finally achieve it.

If you want to know how you can bring information literacy education to more students at your university, this is the book for you. Teaching Information Literacy Through Faculty Development offers a thorough and thoughtful examination of librarians undertaking faculty development to integrate information literacy into curricula. With insightful institutional examples and a valuable list of considerations, the book provides both the "how" and the "why" for librarians interested in faculty development. Based on my many years of experience working with faculty to incorporate information literacy into university courses, I highly recommend this book as a guide for advancing and expanding information literacy in higher education.
