From School Library Journal
Access to and utilization of information has changed dramatically in recent years, directly impacting the role of library media specialists. Teachers are incorporating information skills into lessons and working closely
with media specialists to provide activities that educate and challenge students on many levels. In response to this development, this intensive guide provides background in methods of instruction and delves into the research being done in the field of
information-skills acquisition. First examining the historical role of library instruction, Thomas then describes a variety of approaches. A whole chapter is devoted to Kuhlthau's Information Search Process. The remaining chapters focus on individual
learning styles, the impact of technology, and the role of today's library media centers. Well researched and logically organized, this is nevertheless an intimidating package that takes some effort to digest. School media specialists seeking to improve
their academic understanding of the subject or desiring to support the need for increased instructional skills will benefit from this impressive resource and its extensive references.-Susan McCaffrey, Haslett High School, MI
