Synopsis:

The increase in project-based work in the National Curriculum has led to more pupil-centred, resource based learning in schools. Students must now be able to use information sources in a wide variety of formats, including CD-ROM and, in the future, the Internet. This sort of work demands new skills of learners and a new teaching approach from school librarians and teachers. This book responds to these demands by providing teachers and librarians with both an understanding of the concepts and the theories involved in teaching information skills and actual examples of methods and materials that can be used in schools. It looks at promoting transferable learning skills, locational skills, reading and scanning skills, note taking, communication skills, evaluating use of information sources and teaching information skills.
