NEW
Concise Guide to Information Literacy
Second Edition | SCOTT LANNING
A student’s textbook and an instructional reference for educators: the second edition
of Concise Guide to Information Literacy is both. It teaches students what information
literacy is and why it is an important skill to develop—for their schoolwork as well as for
success in life outside of school. The guide covers major areas in the information literacy
process, including locating, evaluating, and applying information successfully. It also gives
professors, teachers, and librarians a flexible text that can serve as the basis of a course in
information literacy or research skills, a basic research guide for any information literacy
course, or a supplemental text.
This second edition has been reorganized for greater ease of use based on the information
literacy models consulted. All chapters have been fully updated and now include extended
coverage of the topics that appeared in the first edition; additionally, a new chapter on
managing information has been added.
FEATURES
• Serves school and academic librarians and others in teaching basic information literacy
skills to students
• Helps students learn how to find, analyze, use, and process information quickly and
efficiently
• Supplies librarians and teachers with a concise textbook that is useful for student
instruction and as a research guide

—Library Journal, August 1, 2016
Service learning—defined as community service connected to a for-credit college course—
is acknowledged to be a high-impact educational practice. It provides students with
opportunities to put what they learn in class into action, to engage problem-solving skills,
and to reflect on their experiences. Ideally, in service learning, course materials inform
student service, and students’ service experiences, in turn, inform academic dialogue and
comprehension. But where do academic libraries and librarians fit into this process?
FEATURES
• Draws from the 2014 (inaugural) Colloquium on Libraries & Service Learning
• Offers a unique take on the role of libraries and librarians in the service learning
programs that are increasingly popular in higher education as a way to engage active
learning
