Synopsis
Success today is ever more dependent on the ability to access, understand, and manipulate information and librarians, as gatekeepers to information, share a critical role in this process. The three innovative guides in this new series will equip school library media specialists and teachers to promote and teach information literacy skills to young library users and to:
-- Collaborate in curriculum planning so that students will end up with a cohesive skill set.
-- Teach the critical thinking and problem-solving skills that lead to information literacy.
-- Use a step-by-step process, in line with curriculum standards yet flexible enough to adapt to school and district settings.
Organized into three parts -- process overview, planning organizer, and teaching tools -- the K-6 guide helps you to introduce information literacy concepts and skills, and link literacy to standard subject areas.
