Query: Mid school library, OPAC & database skills

[SHABLU <SHABLU@AOL.COM>]

Dear LM_NETers,

Recently I posted a question re. elementary library skills instruction, and
received some great responses.  I am now looking for a similar item for our
6,7,8 graders who come infrequently.  Perhaps these lessons could be
incorporated by the other teachers into their units as it is for their classes
that students need these skills.  Off the soapbox, and back to the question...

The folks who responded suggested "Hooked on Library Skills" published by the
Association for Curriculum Development.  I ordered a preview of a middle
school skills book, but when it arrived, saw a copyright of 1990. Although the
lessons in it were good, due to the ancient (grin) date, nothing was mentioned
about electronic resources.  The publishers are less than helpful re. date
info, so I am turning to you for input.  There is a companion, "Hooked on
Research Skills" by the same author, and I wondered if any of you have used
it.  I am certainly open to other suggestions.

Thank you in advance,
Sharon Blumenstein, Librarian, Emek Hebrew Academy, Sherman Oaks, CA
