I guess I wasn't as clear as I should have been. In the summer of 2007 a 
committee of librarians met at the request of the Department of 
Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to revise our State Standards 
for libraries. These standards don't deal with what we teach, but rather 
deal with how many books we have, how many periodicals, etc., and how 
they are counted. During the 2008-2009 school year DESE has a committee 
working on the Class Level Expectations (CLEs) and Grade Level 
Expectations (GLEs) for information literacy. This group is writing the 
stands for what we will be teaching.

I was on the 2007 committee and I suspect that that's how I ended up on 
the current committee. Sorry for the confusion.

Our current standards are here:
