CONNECTING MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE WITH LIBRARY
The Multiple Intelligence Theory was developed in 1983 by Howard Gardner. In today's library culture, the educational focus is on curating and organizing the knowledge to reach user expectations on time. Gardner's Theory suggests that humans have a much broader range of potential.
