| Abstract: | Contemporary society and our educational institutions over-emphasize left-brained, analytical skills. This pervasive influence extends even into the library instruction classroom. This article calls for an adjustment of this left-brained paradigm, with a more holistic, right-brained, or “global” instructional approach. Background information is offered on split-brain theory, hemispheric function, and the importance of right-brain teaching techniques. The specific strategies of metaphor, visual thinking, direct experience, and fantasy are discussed with specific examples cited. A mind map, cluster diagram, and literature searching exercise are included. |
