But the settings in which we teach often constrain our ability to take a more layered approach. This book not only shows you how to teach information literacy as something other than a basic skill, but also how to do it in whatever mode of teaching you're most often engaged in, whether that's a credit-bearing course, a one-shot session, a tutorial, a reference desk interaction, or a library program. Taking you through each step of the research process, this book shares ideas for adding context while exploring topics such as\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow conversations about context can be integrated into lessons on common information literacy topics;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eexamples of the six genres of research and suggested course outlines for each;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eensuring that context strategies fit within the ACRL Framework;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003equestions for reflection in teaching each step of the research process;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efour different roles that sources can play when researching a topic;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehelping students refine a topic that is drawing too many or too few sources;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecultivating students to become good decision-makers for the best type of research sources to use depending on their need; and\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow to address the shortcomings of checklist tools like the CRAAP test.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAllison Hosier\u003c\/b\u003e is an instructor and scholar of information literacy at the University at Albany, SUNY.
