ReviewsUnderstanding How Students Develop: A Practical Guide for Librarians is an excellent addition to our professional literature. It highlights some of the most established student learning theories and directly connects it to the work of librarians by highlighting examples of its application in reference, instruction, and outreach. Each chapter provides key points summarizing the theory covered and those that are interested in reading more can follow the extensive references. Librarians will appreciate the clear, concrete examples of how student development theories connect to our work with examples from librarians at a range of institutions., This work will is valuable to any librarian who desires to move beyond observation and intuition enhancing reference, instruction and outreach programs. It brings together student development theory, established and enriched since the 1950s, with the practical needs of librarians as they daily interact with students. The authors predicate their work on the similarities between Student Affairs and Libraries. Chapters sequentially introduce a specific student development theory then provide real-life examples of how that theory relates to library practice. Quoted scenarios from practicing librarians are particularly useful in moving from the theoretical to the practical., This work is valuable to any librarian who desires to move beyond observation and intuition to enhance reference, instruction, and outreach programs.
