> online publication of S.O.S. for Information Literacy, a project of
> Syracuse University's Center for Digital Literacy, in collaboration
> with
> the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) and funded by the

>
> S.O.S. for Information Literacy is a dynamic web-based multimedia
> resource for educators, currently in development, that promises to
> make
> a significant contribution to enhancing the teaching of information
> literacy skills to children. At no time in history has the ability to
> locate, organize, evaluate, manage and use information been more
> critical for today's learners. These skills, collectively referred
> to as
> information literacy, lay the groundwork for success in every phase
> of a
> student's life both in and out of school.
>
> The "SOS" in the title of the project means more than a call to action
> to enhance information literacy instruction. It stands for Situation
> (e.g., grade level, curricula area), Outcome (e.g., information
> skill(s)
> to be learned), and Strategies (e.g., teaching ideas or specific
> techniques and strategies to achieve a desired outcome). The educator
> can input the situation and desired outcomes, and the information
> system
> will suggest possible motivational teaching strategies when a strategy
> search is used.
