Information Literacy Instruction for Educators »

In the late 1990s the editors worked with five other faculty members at Washington State U. on a program to infuse information literacy through the school's elementary teacher education program. As they did so, they became interested in how other schools were approaching the problem of focusing teachers' and administrators' attention on acquiring information literacy skills and applying those skills to instructional plans. This collection contains what they found out. The contributors are librarians and teachers who discuss examples in the US, Canada, and Australia.

Editors Shinew (Coll. of Education, Washington State Univ.) and Walter (Washington State Univ. Libs.) have collected nine peer-reviewed, previously published articles by academic librarians from the United States, Canada, and Australia that explore course-integrated collaborative information literacy programs in their library science and education applications. The editors clearly aim this volume at forward-looking educators and preservice teachers who see librarians not as impassive custodians interested only in shelving but as equals in the educational endeavor. Articles stress the importance of instilling in educators the recognition that information literacy instruction is necessary and that academic media centers are fundamental to quality education and should be so treated. Strongly recommended for professors of education, future teachers, and academic librarians who oversee education and library science collections.
