School library media specialists will find this concepts-based
approach to teaching electronic literacy an indispensable basic
tool for instructing students and teachers. It provides
step-by-step instruction on how to find and evaluate needed
information from electronic databases and the Internet, how to
formulate successful electronic search strategies and retrieve
relevant results, and how to interpret and critically analyze
search results. The chapters contain a suggested lesson plan and
sample assignments for the school library media specialist to use
in teaching electronic literacy skills to students and teachers.
Dr. Kathleen W. Craver, a nationally recognized specialist in
technology in the library media center, identifies the universal
concepts of electronic literacy and provides the library media
specialist with the rationales, background, methods, and model
assignments to teach students and faculty to become proficient and
critical users of electronic information technologies. At the
beginning of each chapter, Craver furnishes a rationale for change
that school library media specialists can use to justify these
essential modifications to their teaching curriculum. Chapters
include: The Structure of Electronic Information; The Common
Vocabulary and Characteristics of Electronic Resources; Formulating
Electronic Search Strategies; The Physical Arrangement of
Information; Choosing Appropriate On-Site and Remote Electronic
Libraries; Choosing Appropriate Electronic Databases; Internet
Search Tools and Techniques; Identifying Electronic Resources;
On-Site Electronic Records Access; Using Primary Electronic
Resources; and Evaluating Electronic Sources. The Appendix contains
a listof principal vendors. A glossary of terms and a bibliography
of suggested reading complete the work. This basic teaching guide
provides the media specialist with all the tools necessary to help
novice users to be successful and avoid the frustration of
electronic database searching and retrieval.
