Becoming a Reflective Librarian and Teacher by Michelle Reale

5.0

I loved this book. So thoughtful and useful. The first thing that struck me was that the author is really hard on herself for what she perceives as her failures in the classroom… Me too! And many more similarities seemed to follow. But the way the writer described her workplace made me so jealous. A journal club, and a community to share reflections with? That would be amazing. There are some committees at my work that make me think that might be possible, but in general, change seems a struggle. And I still feel as though one of the reasons for this is that Australian academic librarians don’t recognise themselves as teachers (hence, my PhD topic). So until then, this book provides a good solution: journal it all out.
