Dear all,
A quick and slightly cheeky plug for 2 Innovative Libraries press books
that were fairly recently published and have now been reviewed in the
lovely (Open Access) Journal of Information Literacy. I hope the reviews
help people decide whether to buy them (or get their libraries to buy
them!).
"The librarians’ book on teaching through games and play." ISBN
9781911500070. £19.95.
Extract: "In summary, this book is clear, well written and of a very
practical nature, which will suit those teaching librarians who are
looking for help in introducing (or building on) playful learning
activities within their IL sessions." Full review:

"Learning through metaphor: An introduction to metaphors in information
literacy." ISBN 9781911500094. £15.00
Extract: "...this book is a delightful and quick read that prompts
teachers to challenge the way they use language to communicate abstract
yet essential concepts such as information literacy.
This book would be well suited as a textbook for a course on teaching
information literacy and research skills. While the target audience is
librarians and it would certainly be useful for practitioners who teach
at any level, this book is so effective at making information literacy
as concept more concrete that it could benefit a wide range of teachers,
including anyone undertaking their Fellowship of the Higher Education
Academy or similar qualification. It is accessible and thought provoking
to a wide range of readers and complements existing literature on
teaching information literacy by exploring different frames for
conceptualising it. Full review:
