Hi All -

Carol Simpson's editorial in the latest edition of LMC is a must-read!
This is especially important because of the current AASL effort to
revise/update the standards.  

http://www.carolsimpson.com/LMC_AprilMay07_EdsNotes.pdf 

Information literacy is us!  We need to articulate a clear and direct
message - without jargon. Our standards need to focus on what's unique
from an INFORMATION perspective.  Our standards need to be easy to
understand. Our standards need to reflect the importance of information
literacy.

Library and information programs are not "just" supportive of other
areas.  We have a learning agenda - it's information literacy.  We
fulfill this agenda through integration with subject area learning and
collaboration with other educators. But, integration and collaboration
are means, not ends. We must not shy away from OUR direct -curriculum
and instructional responsibilities - to ensure that students are
effective users of ideas and information - through information literacy
and reading advocacy.

Again - take a look at what Carol has to say -
