Once upon a time in the academic library : storytelling skills for librarians

Barefoot, Maria, (editor.). Parme, Sara, 1985- (editor.). Woods, Elin, (editor.).

Summary: Academic librarians can apply storytelling in the same way that teachers, entertainers, lawyers, and businesspeople have done for centuries, as education within information literacy instruction and as communication in the areas of reference, outreach, management, assessment, and more. Once Upon a Time in the Academic Library explores applications of storytelling across academic librarianship in three sections: 1. The Information Literacy Classroom 2. The Stacks 3. Physical and Virtual Library Spaces.
