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