Anyhow, I completely agree, and it seems like most librarians are just jumping into it as you were, and as I have. It was an optional course in my program to boot, so without stressing that instruction is prevalent in most all areas of librarianship, many students don't even realize they truly need to take the course. In Char Booth's new book, she shows from surveys that most librarians do not feel prepared to teach! Hopefully library school curricula will catch up with this realization in the near future.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545179272088769617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3665758107153442566.post-14119500327090436212011-03-16T16:16:10.756-07:002011-03-16T16:16:10.756-07:00I am a just-graduated Librarian (May 2010) and I n...I am a just-graduated Librarian (May 2010) and I now work as a Reference & Instruction librarian at a small adult-education kind of college (been there about 6 months)-- I had little to no training in library school for information literacy instruction, and not to brag but it was a really good library school! I feel like library schools need to incorporate information literacy instruction into the core curriculum A LOT more than it is now-- now, it seems like it kind of an after thought, when in reality, instruction is a huge part of many librarians' jobs-- especially academic librarians. I had to just jump into it-- which has been stressful and nerve-racking-- but I am just starting to get more comfortable with it!Lea Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11867337774792345543noreply@blogger.com
