Metaliteracy in Practice
Edited by Thomas P Mackey and Trudi E Jacobson
Editors Trudi E. Jacobson and Thomas P.

Metaliteracy in Practice follows on from this book, placing its concepts firmly in real-world practice and delivering a compilation of innovative and practical teaching ideas from some of the leading thinkers in library and information literacy instruction today.
