We're happy to announce that 'Only Connect ... Discover Pathways, library explorations and the information adventure', edited by Andrew Walsh & Emma Coonan is now in print.
Librarians, learning support and academic staff could benefit from knowing more about the pathways that learners take through academic information: how they perceive, model and negotiate the information environment. With a richer understanding of our learners’ individual journeys, we can make our interventions more relevant and more timely; we can structure our courses to allow pathfinding to develop; and we can help our learners to navigate reflectively through the sea of information.
‘Only connect ...’ Presents a range of information discovery journeys, from reflections upon formal research processes to a library fairy tale, in the innovative format of an anarcho-narrative 'unbook' whose authors use video, audio, images, and interactive media alongside traditional text to convey the richness and creativity of learning.
This innovative 'unbook' is available to buy fromLulu.com<http://www.lulu.com/shop/andrew-walsh-and-emma-coonan/only-connect-discovery-pathways-library-explorations-and-the-information-adventure/paperback/product-21158038.html> and should appear in all the 'normal' bibliographical databases for ordering (for your libraries?) over the next few weeks.
