The useful plans and engaging strategies offered in this book will allow library media specialists to work hand in hand with subject specialists to integrate science and information-literacy skills. Lessons designed for both individual and group assignments using print and Internet resources are offered, covering such topics as public health, the human impact on the environment, microorganisms, and nutrition. Becker encourages, promotes, and provides a means to develop a culture of collaboration.

Starred Review With information literacy skills being critical for today's student to be effective and competitive, it is crucial that library media specialists be an integral part of the teaching process. This resource is designed to assist the media specialist and the science teacher working in tandem to teach information literacy skills within the general science curriculum....This resource will provide the foundation for developing a collaborative environment for teaching information literacy skills within your existing science curriculum. Highly Recommended.
