xx Preface interplay of the cyclical and reflective nature of the research process is captured in our Reflective Inquiry Model. We hope that it helps reframe the research process for you and your students as you work through each of the different stages throughout the chapters of this text. Conclusion While IL touches on all disciplines, it is not often treated as a discipline worthy of study in its own right. It is left to the disciplinary specialist to teach as part of their curriculum in science, social science, or the humanities. This disparity can lead to a disjointed and inefficient program where some students receive little or no instruction in IL and others receive many repetitive sessions. This is why librarians need to lead the instruction of IL. It is our area of expertise. In a fascinating re- search article, students received either no IL instruction, or one instruc- tion session from a librarian, or one session from the instructor of the class, or a full course in IL. The results showed that students receiving no instruction knew more about IL than students who had received instruction from the course instructor. Students who received one in- struction session from a librarian did better than both those groups, and students who took a course in IL did the best (Mery et al. 2012). This book is designed to help your students do their best. References American Association of School Librarians. 2018.
