This collection gathers essays by academic, reference and instruction librarians in universities and community colleges around the country. They describe pedagogies, projects, courses, programs, and assessment methods in information literacy, drawing on perspectives from critical theory, philosophy, and social psychology. Part 1, on conceptualizing information, contains papers on librarian, faculty, and student beliefs about information and information searching, dealing with topics such as theories of knowledge in library and information science and teaching students about information discovery. Papers in Part 2, on teaching students about information, are divided into subsections on the nature of expertise and credibility, point of view and source bias, and interpreting the world. Some topics broached in this section include expertise and authority in an age of crowdsourcing, uncovering news bias through information literacy instruction, and rhetorical analysis as a tool for teaching critical thinking. The book’s readership includes academic librarians and educators. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
