At the heart of the groundbreaking publication of Information Power was the idea that school library media specialists and teachers could work together to make certain that their students were becoming truly information literate. The Library Power initiative, a national project funded by the DeWitt Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund, put this idea to the test in 700 schools serving more than one million students in impoverished communities around the country. This book is the result of all that was learned and is the guide for implementing the theories laid out in Information Power. It outlines a specific plan for school library media specialism and teachers to share the responsibilities of planning, teaching, assessing student learning, and offering a truly cohesive curriculum. Included are tips from experienced practitioners on gathering the support of teachers and principals, on managing new roles and responsibilities, and on leading the charge to integrate information literacy and technology into curricula.
