Information literacy is the ability to recognize when information is needed and then locate, evaluate, and effectively use the information. (Adapted from Association College and Research Libraries "Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education")
All Montana students require equitable access to a variety of resources, encompassing the breadth of human conversations and creations for academic achievement and personal growth. By learning to access and evaluate information they gain an appreciation and respect for diverse ideas and creative expressions. By using information literacy skills in all aspects of learning, students become empowered and engaged lifelong learners. To thrive in the 21st Century, students must employ a process of inquiry that can be adapted to any information need. By learning strategies to manage and ethically use information, Montana students open the door to the world in all its diversity. Teacher librarians, in collaboration with other classroom and content area teachers, empower all students to become information literate.
|
Information Literacy/LibraryMediaContent Standard 1 |
The student will identify the task and determine the resources needed.
Rationale
Students encounter "increasingly vast and complex collections of information" in today’s world (Murray 1). Literacy implies more than vocabulary and awareness; it requires critical thinking (Murray 13). Students need skills to help them identify a task or problem and then determine which resources will best solve their specific academic and/or personal requirements. The Big6™ Model provides students with direction, purpose and strategies to initiate the process. Content Standard 1 addresses the first two steps in the Big6™ Model: Task Definition and Information Seeking Strategies.
Benchmarks
A proficient student will:

Upon Graduation |
|
1.1 define the problem |
1.1 analyze the parts of the problem to be solved |
1.1 evaluate the purpose and scope of the problem |
|
1.2 identify types of information needed |
1.2 identify information resources needed |
1.2 determine the nature and extent of information needed |
|
1.3 choose from a range of resources |
1.3 evaluate and select appropriate resources |
1.3 evaluate and select appropriate resources |
|
Information Literacy/LibraryMediaContent Standard 2 |
The student will locate sources, use information, and present findings.
Rationale
Inquiry-based learning has progressed from traditional research to a problem solving process. Multiple literacies, including digital, visual, and textual have now joined information literacy as critical skills for the 21st Century. The amount and complexity of information necessitates that each individual acquire the skills to select, evaluate, and use information appropriately and effectively. The Big6™ Model provides students with direction, purpose and strategies to further the process. Content Standard 2 addresses steps 3, 4 and 5 in the Big6™ Model: Location and Access, Use of Information, and Synthesis.
Benchmarks
A proficient student will:

Information Literacy/LibraryMediaContent Standard 3 |
The student will evaluate the product and learning process.
Rationale
"The final project is more than a goal; it is an opportunity to help students learn how to solve problems and make decisions by engaging higher level thinking skills in a systematic way" (Murray 89).
Students must be prepared to critically evaluate the results of their research, and then apply those results effectively in future learning and decision-making for personal growth and empowerment. This critical evaluation requires that students have frequent opportunities throughout the process to self-assess in order to revise strategies. Content Standard 3 addresses step 6 in the Big6™ Model: Evaluation.

3.2 evaluate how the process met the need for information |
3.2 evaluate the process in order to revise strategies |
|
Information Literacy/LibraryMediaContent Standard 4 |
The student will use information safely, ethically and legally.
Rationale
For students to contribute positively in a learning community, they must have equitable access to information in an environment that is safe and conducive to learning. Because learning has a social context, students need to develop skills in sharing knowledge with others, both in face-to-face situations and through digital environments. Students must recognize and respect the intellectual and creative property rights of others.

Rationale
School libraries provide equitable access to literature and information resources that contribute to the development of lifelong learners.

Students deserve the opportunity to explore creative expression, engage in independent learning, and read for personal enjoyment as well as fulfill academic tasks.
