Additional resources can be found on NLRC's project Web site, Toolkit for Success (Information Literacy for the 21st Century Learner: Reaching At-Risk High School and Community College Students).

 

Panelists will give an overview of information literacy theory and practice with special attention to AASL and ACRL standards and identification of core competencies.

 

Panelists will stress the importance of teaching college-level skills in high school. They will address the disconnect between high schools and colleges in the teaching of information literacy skills and how active assessment can help.  The panel will specifically discuss the IMLS grant project's assessment instrument--its attitudinal, multiple choice, and constructed response questions as well as its effectiveness in field testing in the classroom setting.

 

The panel will stress the importance of collaboration between teachers and librarians and how to develop information literacy learning resources for at-risk students.

  • Laura Dare, IMLS Grant Project Manager
  • Leslie Warren, Information Literacy Librarian, Moraine Valley Community College
