There's a lot going on in school libraries about info literacy training
- particularly in secondary schools. If anybody wanted pointers, the
School Librarian website http://www.strongest-links.org.uk/ is very
useful.

Dear All
I agree with Andrew about the timeline, IL needs to be recognised at an
early stage within schools and developed as part of children's learning.
Hopefully we might achieve this on a national basis within Scotland if
the project and lobbying I'm working on with John Crawford and project
partners is successful.
However the good news is that Audrey Sutton in North Ayrshire and Cleo
Jones & Valerie Walker in Edinburgh are already linking IL to the
Scottish curriculum for 5-14 year olds.

Dear All,
I work in a public library. We are in the early stages of
developing a pilot
of a game which introduces younger children (6-9 ish) to the
concepts of
information literacy. It involves negotiating within
environment where
progression, achievement of tasks and avoidance of death depends
upon
finding, analysing and acting upon snippets of information
within the
environment (from characters, and objects within it, etc)
This does not cover plagiarism as such, although the
consequences of misuse
of information is something that I am working in it.
I think the whole subject is best seen as a continuum, where you
start with
going gaga to your babies, then they get to school and friends
and media,
then work or FE or HE, then work, and so on, until we fall off
the perch at
the other end.
The stuff I am working on above is best seen as a part of this
timeline,
parallel to what primary schools do. I think probably that
without some
formal recognition of IL at this age now, in 10 years time the
information
literacy of next generation students that you see in FE/HE will
be no
better.

Kathy,
A good question. Sadly I do not work closely with schools. I
wonder if a
school librarian or two might want to comment on what work is
being done in
this area in schools?
Most of my resources and I think those listed at the end of my
earlier email
could most probably be converted for use in schools.
