Information Retrieval and Reference Services
Units: 3
The teacher librarian learns to model and teach information skills, including location, retrieval, and evaluation of learning resources, as well as critical thinking. This course presents a 21st-century search procedure that systematically and thoroughly integrates print, nonprint, and electronic forms of information. The reference interview is emphasized as a vehicle for demonstrating to faculty and students both a sensitivity to diversity and client-centered care. The teacher librarian is expected to integrate information literacy instruction with all curricular disciplines. The course includes advanced online search techniques.
