GEN: Big Six Newsletter

[Peter Milbury <pmilbury@CUSD.CHICO.K12.CA.US>]

Dear LM_NET Colleagues,

   Many of you already know about the following new resource, but I want
to be able to share this with those who don't. Please excuse the
cross-posting.

   As many of you know, LM_NET co-founder/moderator, Mike Eisenberg (along
with Bob Berkowitz), is the creator of the "Big Six Skills for Information
Problem Solving". This "Big Six" process is a wonderful way to teach
information skills, and a great opportunity for librarians to work with
teachers in our important instructional development role.

   The following is a press release from Linworth Publishing which
announces the Big Six Newsletter, and includes an offer of the free
Premier Issue.

   Congratulations Mike, Bob, and Marlene (Linworth publisher). Please
sign me up right away!

Peter Milbury, for LM_NET
