authentic tasks often require an increased amount of metacognitive attention on the part of the students, as they are generally not addressed in the kindergarten through twelfth-grade curricula. Through the use of a specific information skills model like Big6 these skills can be developed in students of all ages (Eisenberg and Berkowitz 1990).

Stripling and Pitts describe their model as a "thinking frame" (Stripling and Pitts 1988, 19) for research. This ten-step process emphasizes a thinking framework that can be adapted for any age level and any curricular subject. The authors maintain that, unless they are instructed to do so, most students do not automatically think about research in an explicit manner. Therefore, by prescribing the method in which to write research papers, the authors hope to improve student thought about the research process. The ten steps of the search process model (Stripling and Pitts 1988) are organized around the major activities performed in writing a coherent research paper: topic selection, planning the information search, locating and accessing materials, and creating a final product. Throughout the model, students have several reflection points that allow them to make judgments about their progress.

The Changing Role of the Teacher-Librarian in the Twenty-first Century - 9 views

" There are many aspects to the role teacher-librarians. Teacher-librarians are curriculum development leaders as well as a collaborative teaching and planning partners for the classroom teacher. They can be leaders into integrating technology into instruction in the school. They are the information specialists who provide both physical and intellectual access to material through teaching the knowledge, skills and values required to use information and to communicate knowledge ethically and effectively. Teacher-librarians must also be involved in revising and rewriting policies and procedures that are important to meet the needs of the twenty-first century. They are resource managers and must be up to date in reviewing new materials in order to develop their collections."
