This crucial book provides insights and case studies that will help you do just that.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eService 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? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the first book to provide that missing piece, giving librarians practical information and examples of how to contribute to service learning on their campuses. It begins with an overview of librarian involvement in service learning, highlighting connections between service learning and information literacy pedagogy. Case studies focus on specific aspects of service learning that engage information literacy, illustrating ways academic libraries can partner with service learning initiatives. The book concludes with thoughts on assessment and short essays on the future of libraries and service learning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Nutefall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1440840911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781440840913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Libraries Unlimited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.36d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2016 pg. 109","brand":"Jennifer Nutefall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47305242280191,"sku":"9781440840913","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_578dc2bd-946a-480b-a80c-0c1b02f6b7d1.jpg?v=1758830347","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/service-learning-information-literacy-and-jennifer-nutefall-9781440840913","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
