This is a 'must-have' resource for school library practitioners and for school library educators. The author begins by setting the context for reader's understanding of information skills instruction, with a brief history of the growth of library instruction as an extension of reference services and as a core activity of school librarians. The author reviews the extensive bodies of research done in bibliographic instruction, literacy skills instruction, and learning styles, and then synthesizes the findings of that research. This series of documents created by practising teacher-librarians in their Brisbane, Australia schools combine library and information skills, information technology skills, problem solving strategies, and the six step information process into one powerful and viable program. With additional support material, including teacher support materials in print and on disc, research organizers, and a video.
