Recenzii

"Medaille offers a concise collection of 14 chapters on different learning theories, including collaboration, observation, motivation, dialogue, imagination, and more. Medaille endeavors to make these learning theories accessible, providing a systematic and structured format to explain the concepts, their associated implications, and applications in librarianship ... A user-friendly work that provides librarians with a quick tool to better understand learning theories in relation to librarianship. Excellent for both seasoned and new librarians, this resource is highly recommended for all types of libraries."
— Library Journal (starred review)
"Through the clarity of her writing, the author gives the reader the vocabulary needed to successfully articulate—and reflect on—learning moments librarians may have experienced themselves in their work with students, and to link these with relevant, contributing theories. This may lead the reader to reflect on their own actions or contributions to learning practices, and to further inform their future praxis ... [This book] would be most useful for librarians, or library space managers, looking for inspiration on how to make their spaces more suitable for learning. Librarians new to teaching may also find value in how the learning theories—often mentioned in librarianship literature with an assumption of prior knowledge—fit in with their own work."
