The Information Literate School Community
Networked schools quickly learn that their investments in technology will pay off most handsomely when they focus on the formation of an information literate school community. Information literacy has three major components, all of which contribute to learners being able to "make up their own minds." 1. 2. 3. It may take several years for a school to approach the goal of universal information literacy. How does a school know when it deserves to be called an information literate school community? Invention: Much of the school program is dedicated to problem-solving, decision-making, exploration and the creation of new ideas. How can we tell that our school is approaching a mature level of information literacy? • Zero stars = Not an explicit goal.

Towards collaboration between information seeking and information retrieval
Carol C. Kuhlthau Department of Library and Information Science School of Communication, Information and Library Studies Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey New Brunswick, New Jersey USA Abstract Introduction. The conceptual framework of librarianship and information science has developed rapidly over the past decade with the prospect of application in other fields. Introduction: a developing framework for library and information science For many years researchers in library and information science have borrowed theory from other fields to provide insight into our research findings. An important contribution of the research reported at the ISIC conferences is the development of the user-centred approach. Four imperatives for building the conceptual framework The expansive field of library and information science incorporates the great traditions of librarianship, the insights of user studies, and the innovations of information retrieval and information systems.
Literacy Lariat
The word "literacy" has become sort of a buzz word in the Education field, but not in the way most people would expect. Of course, it's important that a teacher is actually literate and is capable of helping students become literate, but I guess it's all relative. Apart from this however, there is a growing concern for teachers to be literate in many other ways. For instance, most teachers these days are expected to be computer literate.
Information Literacy: frameworks, standards and statements
There has been work for the higher education and the school (in the USA "K12") sectors, carried out by librarians and information professionals. There has also been work carried out by a UK information consultancy to identify competencies required by information literate employees. Each of these is briefly reviewed here. In the higher education sector, Library and information professional bodies in the USA (the Association of College and Research Libraries, ACRL) and Australia (Australian and New Zealand Institute for Information Literacy) have produced standards for information literacy, and a UK body (Society of College, National and University Libraries, SCONUL) has produced a model for information literacy. There have been translations of the ACRL standards, and the IFLA Information Literacy Section has also worked on a framework for information literacy. The US higher education standards emerged from work done for the American Library Association on information literacy. Bundy, A.
