Beverley E. Crane’s How to Teach: A Practical Guide for Librarians is the perfect bridge between learning theory and the practical application of these pedagogical models on lesson plans, templates, self-paced instruction, and many other methods of adult learning. The detailed models created for librarians in many settings—special, school, academic, and public—allow the use of theoretically sound technologies and strategies to be implemented with confidence. This book is an indispensable guide for novice and expert alike.
