Allison Hosier Information Literacy sku-209446081 Book

Allison Hosier's paperback Using Context in Information Literacy Instruction: Beyond Basic Skills, sku-209446081, is listed under All Manuals & Guides. It shows academic librarians how to teach information literacy as contextual research, in keeping with the ACRL Framework. The book addresses credit-bearing courses, one-shot sessions, tutorials, reference desk interactions and library programs.

It follows the research process with lesson ideas, six research genres and suggested course outlines, reflection questions, four roles for sources, ways to refine a topic with too many or too few sources, guidance on choosing sources, and the limits of checklists such as the CRAAP test.

Its approach aims to support students' lifelong learning even when teaching settings limit how much context librarians can cover.
