Information Literacy for K-16 Settings Purpose of the Site Overview Step1: Task Definition Step2: Information Seeking Strategies ... Lessons Purpose of this Site: Today's educators and K-12 students need to be information literate: to be able to locate, evaluate, use and share information. California State University notes several specific reasons for students to be information literate: * So they can successfully navigate through proliferating information resources * To improve their quality of education * To learn additional tools to reinforce course content * To enhance lifelong learning. The American Association of School Librarians (AASL) has established information literacy standards for K-12 students, which are aligned with the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) information literacy competency standards for higher education. Thus, undergraduate students and teacher candidates need to learn the ACRL information literacy competencies in order to succeed in college, as well as design curriculum that insures that their own future K-12 students meet information literacy standards as defined by AASL. California State University Long Beach has developed a series of learning experiences that help students and teachers incorporate information literacy into the library media program and collaborate with classroom teachers to infuse information literacy across the curriculum. Library Media Teacher Services Credential Program Coordinator Dr. Farmer and University Librarians John D'Amicantonio and Tiffini Travis developed this Web site to provide Web sites and other resources on information literacy and supportive lesson plans. All book titles are located at CSULB's library. The main part of the Web site is comprised of seven modules: an overview, followed by each of the Big6 research steps.

Information Literacy Blog Information Literacy and Teacher Education Jo Ann Carr RATIONALE FOR INFORMATION LITERACY FOR TEACHERS The Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools has been implementing standards for information literacy at the institutional level for some years. The association offers professional development workshops on this topic in conjunction with its national meetings. GUIDELINES FOR INFORMATION LITERACY FOR TEACHERS The American Association of School Librarians issued a 1995 position paper on information competencies that stresses application rather than concepts. The paper recognizes the different roles of the administrator and the teacher in providing the integration of information literacy into the curriculum, supporting collaboration in planning and teaching among teachers and school library media specialists, and providing access to and using resource-based learning experiences, as well as notes the value of literature and technology as resources for student learning. MODELS FOR TEACHERS' INFORMATION LITERACY The development of an integrated information literacy program for preservice teachers is described by Miner, whose program was focused on "preparing prospective teachers for ongoing self-renewal in terms of life-long learning" (1992, p. 259). This program at Brigham Young University began with independent workshops and, through revision based on the needs of student teachers, moved to a full-course, integrated program. Key to the success and growth of this program was the development of integrated course activities that would "fulfill course objectives at the same time they enhanced the planned development of . . . information literacy" (Miner, 1992, pp. 266-267).
