Booth, a library education and technology advocate, presents a four-part framework to empower library educators to become better designers and presenters. The USER framework, tailored to creating learner-focused instruction in library contexts, is made up of four elements: understanding an instructional scenario, structuring content, engaging learners, and reflecting on outcomes. Part 1 provides background on instructional literacy, reviewing major concepts on teaching effectiveness, metacognition, and reflective practice, and offering a crash course on learning theory and instructional theory, teaching technologies, and instructional design. Part 2 presents the USER method for library instructional design, with chapters on each element. Ideas are illustrated with practical advice and scenarios from real library educators. The book includes templates for instructional planning and technology evaluation, plus tables, checklists, chapter summary points, and reflection questions, all in a reader-friendly two-column format. Booth is e-learning librarian at the University of California-Berkeley. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
