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.

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.
