Information literacy

Abilock, D. (2004). Information literacy: an overview of design, process and outcomes.

This was very short and easy to read.
It gave a concise definition of information literacy and then broke it down into skills and strategies and outcomes. A good one to use if needing to make objectives and outcomes for a school program.


Herring, J. and Tarter, A. (2007). Progress in developing information literacy in a secondary school using the PLUS model. School Libraries in View, 23(pp23-27).

While this article was aimed at High School students it can easily be adapted to the primary school student.
As a TL we were informed that our major responsibility is to develop information literacy in schools.
The article gave us some information regarding a study carried out with secondary students. While the results were interesting it would be good to see a similar study carried out with primary students.
I thought the recommendations put in at the end of the article regarding ways that TL's can develop information literacy within schools was outstanding and I will be looking at ways of implementing the suggestions into my teaching.
