Description - Training Research Consultants: A Guide for Academic Libraries by Jennifer Torreano

Training Research Consultants: A Guide for Academic Libraries is an inspirational collection of perspectives and tools from library leaders who have created and maintained successful programs, plus thoughtful explorations of the theories and motivations that inform peer learning. In four sections—Introduction to Theory and Practice, Library Case Studies, Perspectives from Campus Partners, and Consultant Perspectives—it covers everything that goes into these increasingly popular research consulting programs: learning theories, the role of research consultants in encouraging student intellectual development, program administration, hiring practices, training, marketing, and assessment. The book ends with two insightful reflections from former research consultants, leaving us with a reminder of the lasting impact these programs have on the consultants themselves.
