About the book

Critical Library Pedagogy in Practice is an edited collection of 14 chapters exploring various aspects of critical pedagogy and how the theory can be applied to information literacy teaching. The book is inspired by the success of the Critical Library Pedagogy Handbook, published by the American Library Association, and the aim for this collection was to produce a similarly helpful book focussed on the work and practice of librarians in various countries within a classroom context. The ebook is open access and therefore free for anyone and everyone to use.
