Hidden Architectures of Information Literacy Programs
In 39 chapters, authors from a variety of diverse institutions highlight the day-to-day work of running and coordinating information literacy programs and the soft skills necessary for success in the coordinator role. They discuss the institutional context into which their work fits, their collaborators, students, marketing, and assessment, as well as the many varied duties they balance. Chapters examine the delicate balancing act of labor distribution, minimal or absent positional authority coupled with making decisions and assignments, generating buy-in for programmatic goals and approaches.

Wissenschaftliche Bibliotheken als Orte des Schreibens
In dem Lehrbuch wird der enge Zusammenhang zwischen dem wissenschaftlichen Schreiben in der Hochschulbibliothek sowie der Schlüsselqualifikation Informationskompetenz systematisch sowie konkret anhand von verschiedenen Schreibszenarien aufgezeigt.

Die Ressourcen und Dienstleistungen, die die Hochschulbibliothek zur Förderung und Unterstützung des wissenschaftlichen Schreibens zu Verfügung stellen, werden einbezogen.
