Teachers often assume students know how to do research. However, most students lack important information literacy skills and often need guidance in order to be successful researchers. Sometimes the research projects students are assigned are not well devised or planned, and teachers often underestimate the amount of time or effort necessary to complete a project. These difficulties soon become compounded because students often have poor organizational and time management skills, which are essential in producing good research projects. The desire to make the research experience pleasant and worthwhile for students and the teacher who must assess their efforts has led authors Chris Carlson and Ellen Brosnahan to devise a logical system to help students not only gain valuable information literacy and time management skills needed but also to help the instructor have a better handle on what students are doing during the process.

Information Literacy takes readers systematically through the management of a research activity, from conception to final product. Each chapter includes handouts that have been used by the authors with actual research assignments, websites for further information, and a bibliography of additional books that support the ideas in the chapter. An appendix with examples of research papers that have been done by the authors' actual students is also included.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

This book gives practical examples of student activities involving reports and projects using the I-Search model. It reads like a how-to guide with theory interspersed, but it is text-heavy as the authors describe their experiences in managing students as they worked on research assignments. Suggestions for further reading and links to useful Web sites, examples of project proposals, a bibliography sheet, a bibliographic citation form, and note cards plus steps to writing the I-Search paper are all included. While clearly written and quite informative, the book is not easy to read. The layouts are rather tight and the main text is densely packed on the pages. This is not meant to be a quick reference tool, but rather a book that should be read thoroughly from cover to cover. It would be excellent as a supplementary text for pre-service librarians. For the professional development of busy practicing librarians, Sandra Hughes-Hassell and Anne Wheelock's The Information-Powered School (ALA, 2001) and Carol Koechlin and Sandi Zwann's Build Your Own Information Literate School (Libraries Unlimited, 2005) provide more rubrics and a greater variety of handouts, and are easier and friendlier to read.—Angela Washington-Blair, Emmett J.

Review

This book gives practical examples of student activities involving reports and projects using the I-Search model....clearly written and informative....This is not meant to be a quick reference tool, but rather a book that should be read thoroughly from cover to cover. It would be excellent as a supplementary text for pre-service librarians. ― School Library Journal

The authors discuss practical examples of how a research topic assignment can be broken into manageable parts for the students.... It is a useful addition to the professional development library for teachers and teacher-librarians. -- Debra Engel ― Reference and User Services Quarterly

This book is comprised of successful methods that were developed in the classroom and media center and written in an easily understood manner. The information it imparts is equally useful to education students, beginning teachers and teacher-librarians, and veteran teachers alike. Carlson and Brosnahan have put together a solid guide that will be effective for any educator looking to get more out of research assignments. ― VOYA
