Re: Big Six and High School

[Diane Durbin <dianed@TENET.EDU>]

Mike has made a good suggestion here.  I'm going to try this - but I'd
like to know if anybody has done it and what kind of handout the
librarian has come up with.  I would like to give a handout plus the Big
6 bookmark or pocket-sized form Mike handed out at ALA.  I used them in
my Big 6 workshop (yes, I gave credit to Mike and Bob).  The teachers
liked them, but haven't used them with kids.
