Abstract:
"Instruction and technology both play integral roles in librarianship today. There are many books addressing teaching within the library, and many more that provide librarians with an overview of current technologies. This handbook strives to bring these two relevant topics together in a practical overview of instructional uses and applications of today's popular technologies. The book is not designed to be read cover to cover, but referred to over time as the reader considers incorporating a particular technology in instruction (such as establishing an instruction blog), or perhaps begins reflecting on current uses of a familiar product or service (such as chat-based reference)." -introduction.
