Dig into Information Literacy with Tools of Collaboration

Abstract

One achieves more success at one’s job when using proper tools. The more the tools are applied to tasks, the more they become second nature to the user. There are tools of collaboration that will help the school library media specialist and the teacher produce an environment of learning conducive to student achievement. By using these tools for the teaching of information literacy skills, the teacher and the school library media specialist can guide students through dynamic, rewarding, and successful inquiry-based, researchbased units of study. Four essential ingredients in the collaboration are partnership, planning, process, and product.
