About the book:
Health Sciences Library Instruction: Scenarios for Scalable Design is designed for librarians with teaching responsibilities in the health sciences and related areas. This book explores the ways that librarians have adapted instructional approaches to address constantly evolving educational needs.
Our focus is on practical examples and strategies for designing adaptable and scalable instruction materials, especially those working with limited resources. We aim to provide a resource that helps health sciences librarians extend the reach of their programs.
We are looking for chapters describing the process of developing new instruction sessions or resources, with specific attention to how the new instructional offerings have been adapted or scaled from existing content/materials.
Examples may include:
Orientation sessions
Course-integrated lessons
On-demand instructional resources
Incorporating emerging topics into instruction
Advanced or expert-level instruction
Train the trainer instruction
Instruction for community visitors
Please submit proposals using this form: https://forms.gle/
We are open to suggestions beyond the categories listed above. Full chapters are expected to be approximately 2,200-2500 words and submitted by August 2026.
Authors will be notified of acceptance on a rolling basis. Please email scalableinstructionbook@gmail.
