- Summary
- "This new edition of Thomas' definitive book updates and expands her reviews of the literature on learning styles, information skills, literacy skills, technological literacy, and bibliographic instruction. Thomas provides ample evidence that learning key information literacy skills is essential, and that knowledgeable instructors must guide and support students as skills are practiced in relevant, curricular contexts. She discusses current trends, issues, and applications for the reviewed research. She examines information processing models, instructional diagnostic models, and assessment of the outcomes of information literacy skills instruction. This is a valuable book for school library educators and practitioners who play important roles in teaching youngsters how to survive and thrive in the "knowledge society" of the future."--BOOK JACKET.
