Call for chapters: Innovation and Experiential Learning in Academic Libraries

Chapters are sought for the book: Innovation and Experiential Learning in Academic Libraries: Meeting the Needs of 21st Century Students. This will be part of the Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group Series: Innovations in Information Literacy  Deadline for submissions is November 15, 2020

The editors are Sarah Nagle and Elias Tzoc.  "As technology advances and the skills required for the future workforce continue to change rapidly, academic libraries have begun to expand the definition of information literacy and the type of library services they provide to better prepare students for the constantly-developing world they will face upon graduation. More than teaching the newest technologies, information literacy is expanding to help students develop enduring skills such as critical thinking, creativity, problem solving, communication, teamwork, and more. Innovation and Experiential Learning in Academic Libraries: Meeting the Needs of 21st Century Students addresses the multitude of ways that academic librarians are collaborating with faculty and helping students develop these enduring skills by developing and integrating active and experiential learning approaches into teaching activities.
