From the Editor

"Active learning benefits everyone in all levels and types of libraries. ...Students, the general public, interns, and new reference staff need to find information and conduct research. One way to help them understand research strategies is to provide a structured opportunity to 'experience' information seeking. As librarians, we want learners to retain and apply what we teach. Finding material and writing research papers is a way of life in the schools, colleges and universities which most of your students will attend. They will continue to use the skills and techniques learned from your instruction throughout their lifetimes. ...

"Creative Strategies for Library Instruction in the Arts, Literature, and Music ... includes seven lesson plans covering various topics in "The Arts," seven lesson plans in literature and communications, and six lesson plans in music. Each of the contributing authors is a specialist in his area of expertise and is sharing that knowledge with colleagues."

Reviews and Comments

"Creative Strategies for Library Instruction in the Arts, Literature and Music (2001) is an excellent resource for librarians planning sessions to undergraduate students in those disciplines. Marilyn Whitmore, the editor, has used a format in which each chapter is a lesson plan that includes active learning exercises. LI librarians are able to save a great deal of time with the design of her unique book because the exercises can be easily customized to fit the needs of individual libraries. I use this book at least five times per semester!" - Ray Anne Lockard, University of Pittsburgh
