[book1.jpg]McAdoo, Monty L.  Fundamentals of Library Instruction.  Chicago: ALA, 2012.  025.5677 McAdo   ISBN 978-0-8389-1141-9
Being a great teacher is part and parcel of being a great librarian. In this book, veteran instruction services librarian McAdoo lays out the fundamentals of the discipline in easily accessible language. Succinctly covering the topic from top to bottom, he
*         Offers an overview of the historical context of library instruction, drawing on recent research in learning theory to help the instructor choose the most effective strategies for any situation
*         Shows readers how to assess the information needs of a given audience, how to develop a curriculum for teaching information literacy, and how to fit an appropriate amount of content into the allotted time
*         Addresses the pros and cons of online versus face-to-face instruction
*         Includes methods for publicizing the availability of the library s learning opportunities
With expert guidance for putting theory into practice, McAdoo s book helps librarians connect with students as effectively as possible.


[book2.jpg]Spratford, Becky Siegel.  The Readers' Advisory Guide to Horror. 2nd Ed.  Chicago: ALA, 2012. 028.9 Sprat 2nd ed.  ISBN978-0-8389-1112-9

Vampires, zombies, ghosts, and ghoulies: there are more things going bump in the night than ever. So how do you wend your way through all of them to find the ones that interest a particular reader? RA expert Spratford updates her advisory to include the latest in monsters and the macabre, including
*         Lists of recommended titles, authors, and sub-genres, all cross-referenced for quick reference
*         Tips for effectively practicing horror RA, with interview questions for gauging a reader s interests
*         An expanded resources section, with an overview addressing the current state of horror lit, and suggestions of how to dig deeper
As both an introductory guide for librarians just dipping their toes into the brackish water of scary fiction, as well as a fount of new ideas for horror-aware reference staff, Spratford's book is infernally appropriate.
