A Guide for the Library Media Specialist
By 2004 Colorado Librarian of the Year Sherry R.
Crow
The focus of this book is Collaboration, and the
author describes how to make the transition from teaching library skills in
isolation to helping students become Information Literate by integrating, with
the classroom teache,r Information Literacy Standards into the classroom
curriculum, standards, and content areas.
Crow outlines and defines the information literacy standards, presents a
step-by-step guide to collaborate with teachers, shares strategies in building
flexible scheduling, shows assessment strategies, and gives examples to build
motivational programs that support the information literacy program. The book
and CD provide proven lesson plans, supporting materials, and templates. The CD
contains 120 files - print-only PDF files of lesson plans and activities; WORDâ
files to develop your own collaborative lesson plans plus files to customize
those already provided; and reproducible activities to use in the library media
center.
