It Doesn't Matter How Many "Doses": One-Shots Aren't Cures.

The article poses some ideas about mapping a vaccination metaphor onto one-shot model of library instruction drawing from librarian Wendy Holliday's use of metaphor to generate exploration around information literacy discourse. Topics include the mechanisms and implications of one-shot approach being viewed as common-sensical and unassailable and the use of the vaccination metaphor to examine damaging assumptions about one-shots investigated in "The Contested One-Shot" by N. Pagowsky.
