Library Instruction

I am so happy I found your podcast about library instruction via Twitter today. I used to listen to “Adventures in library instruction” a long time ago and I learned so much! The first two episodes have helped already by introducing me to LibWizard and reminding me to use Kahoot! In my high school research lessons. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
