Critical Reviews
"With this edited collection, Hornick (Florida Southern College) and Kehoe (Univ. of Central Florida) bring critical information literacy (CIL) theory and practice to every library instructional setting. Chapters provide an overview, for those new to CIL, on the theoretical history and underpinnings, and then delve into examples of programs and professional development opportunities ... An accessible and inspirational foray into CIL for beginners and seasoned instructors alike."
