What does Information Literacy Look Like in a School Library?

Here is a great resource that will tell you all about it!

Riedling, A. M. (2004). Information literacy: What does it look like in the school library media center? Westport, Connecticut: Libraries Unlimited.

This is an all-inclusive practical guide book written for both practicing school library media specialists and for courses that prepare college/university students for undergraduate and graduate degrees in school library media, that discusses information literacy, research, independent learning, ethics and more. It is aimed specifically for school library media specialist's use. The overall goal is to teach what information literacy looks like in general, in school, in a classroom, in your mind and in life. It is a guide designed to lead SLMSs through the information literacy procedure. Because it is a practical guide it provides helpful scenarios to explain what information literacy looks like.

I love this book! I know it's 5 years old, but everything in it is relevant. I found another title I'm trying to get my hands on that looks like it will be extremely useful and it's only 2 years old: Information Literacy Cookbook. I'm still awaiting the Eisenberg book; sometimes CPL holds take longer than a week.
