Recognizing that active collaboration between library media specialists and classroom teachers is crucial in promoting information literacy in the educational process, the authors used the expertise of media specialists and subject area teachers in two suburban schools. With New York State Education Department's information skills syllabus as criteria, instructional units were created for eleven curriculum areas commonly taught in middle and junior high schools. Each discipline presents several units designed to integrate library skills across the curriculum. For example, lessons available for social studies include civil rights, explorers, immigration, colonial life, and presidents. Objectives are clearly stated, and activities define the roles of the teacher and media specialist. Lists of resources and materials in a variety of formats-print, electronic, and Internet-provide a solid reference base. Black line activity pages come complete with answer keys. Suggested methods of pupil assessment range from standard worksheets and research papers, to more multimedia projects such as models and video productions. All units can be expanded and modified. In addition, five library orientation units offer instruction on the use of basic research tools: on-line catalog, Internet, periodical indexes in book and electronic form, pamphlet file, and microfiche. Familiarizing students with reference materials, and exercises on note taking and creating correct bibliographies, further enrich this source. The focus of all strong media programs must be preparing students to become informed decision makers, fostering a desire for lifelong learning, and initiating mastery in the use of informational technologies. This professional reference is invaluable in establishing the teamwork essential to a learning-centered facility. Source Notes.
