Reviews:
-[A] one stop sourcebook designed to serve as a theoretical model for designing and implementing a K-12 information literacy program....Daniel Callison and Leslie Preddy have created an excellent resource for K-12 library media specialists, but colleges and universities will also find it extremely useful. Its greatest strength is the thoroughness with which this subject is covered, and even those who have been teaching information literacy for many years will find new ideas and resources here. —Reference & User Services Quarterly
-If we believe that information literacy is a lifelong, collaborative, problem-solving process, then it is essential that, at some point in our work with each student, we assess their ability to apply knowledge in the context of real tasks...in authentic projects. For guidance, we can turn to The Blue Book on Information Age Inquiry, Instruction and Literacy where evaluations and assessments suited to complex performances typical of inquiry learning are identified. —Knowledge Quest
-Starred Review Finally we have a volume that explains in detail what school library media specialists and teacher-librarian types do! Although intended as a manuscript for classroom study, this title is a perfect tool for the validity of a great school library program....This volume is for all librarians/teachers and their principals, colleagues, and school committee members. This is a great compendium of idea stimulators as well as explanations of our methods. Next time someone asks, What do you teach in library? just hand them this title. Highly Recommended. —Library Media Connection
