Sandra Wood, MLS, MBA, is Librarian Emerita, Penn State University Libraries, and a Fellow of the Medical Library Association. Ms. Wood is founding and current editor of Medical Reference Services Quarterly (in its 34th volume). She was a librarian for over thirty-five years at the George T. Harrell Library, Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Pennsylvania State University, specializing in reference, education, and database services. Ms. Wood has written or edited more than 12 books, the latest two entitled Health Sciences Librarianship and Successful Library Fundraising: Best Practices (both with Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2014).

The book’s collection of edited chapters can be read and enjoyed individually or as a whole. The editors have done an excellent job of highlighting instruction examples and case studies that should appeal to librarians with interest in ideas, approaches, and models for instructional engagement that may span one-shot sessions through complete academic courses…. This very valuable and informative book reflects this interesting time of transition in library information literacy instruction, where within different timeframes, and to varying degrees, many librarians are engaging and experimenting with the Framework in their current instructional programs. Like the Framework, this book will challenge librarians to give fresh consideration to many of their current instructional practices.
