Community Resources In The School Library Media Center Concepts And Methods [Hardcover]

This book provides an analysis and rationale for community information in the School Library Media Center. Arguing for the improved integration of community information into curriculum design, the book suggests that the topic can be used to promote the overall development of information literacy. It also considers community information and the preparation required to adequately teach community information. Important issues such as the kinds of materials necessary for community information instruction and the role played by community information in government mandated basic skills requirements are also treated.
