 * Bibliographic Instruction**


 * A. Policy:** The library media specialist will utilize the district's K-12 Information Literacy Scope and Squence when creating lessons. All lessons and instruction will follow the methodologies of the //Standards for the 21st Century Learner// and the state's information literacy standards.


 * B. Procedures:**
 * 1) Align the instruction of information literacy skills with state standards
 * 2) Keep a log of information literacy skills and evidence of performance for all students in the school

**C. K-12 Information Literacy Scope and Sequence**

The following is a K-12 Information Literacy Scope and Sequence. Several resources were used to create this scope and sequence.These sources included the Pennsylvania Department of Education's Library Tool Kit for Implementing Information Literacy in Schools, The Pennsylvania Guidelines for School Library Programs 2005, the Big Six, and numerous websites based on other states K-12 Information Literacy Skills sets.

Target bench marks for each skill are indicated with a "C" for competence. This does not mean that the skills will be mastered by all students at the grade level, but rather that most students will be able to consistently perform the listed skill by the end of the given grade level. In each case the "C" for competence was listed for the highest grade in a particular building (2,5,8,and 12) to reflect our building configurations and that the skill should be considered a benchmark for students leaving that building. ISTE (International Standards for Technology in Education) also uses the same building level configurations. Our district has already adopted a K-12 technology skill set based on ISTE and PDE standards.

Central to the core of Information Literacy Skills utilization by students is the integration of these skills throughout the subject area curricula of each building. The 2005 Pennsylvania Guidelines for School Library Programs emphasize that "just as the information literacy skills cannot be taught in isolation from the classroom curriculum, neither can these skill become the sole responsibility of the librarian. It takes the entire educational community - the librarian, teachers, administrators, and parents - working together to have students attain the information literacy skills linked to established academic standards."
