Designing, Building, and Teaching in the Electronic Library Classroom

A new library is evolving out of the institutional settings of the past. It is a constantly expanding landscape combining printed text, images, data, photographs, videos, music, ephemera, and artwork available in a dizzying array of formats and access. Yet the mission of the library -- of informing, educating, entertaining, and stimulating thought -- continues very much today as it began. Books in this series are written for practicing librarians: those who daily face the challenges, clashes, opportunities, and pressures of bridging the gap between information and its potential users in the physical and virtual reality that comprises "The New Library".Electronic library classrooms are expensive, sophisticated installations. If well-implemented and well-supported, they tend to be immensely popular. Here are the strategies for ensuring that they are successful. All phases of planning, design, construction, scheduling, instructional design, teaching techniques, and use are covered by this unique guide.LaGuardia, Cheryl L. is the author of 'Designing, Building, and Teaching in the Electronic Library Classroom' with ISBN 9781555703806 and ISBN 1555703801.
