Check out these interactive tutorials from Acadia University's (Nova Scotia, Canada) library. There are four of them:
- Research It Right
- Credible Sources Count
- Searching with Success
- You Quote It, You Note It
Nicely done, in my humble opinion. Although geared to University students, I can see these being very useful in high school and even middle school. You might also want to check out the library's home page, too. Talking avatar, redesigned page, new search results...Looks like they are really trying to relate to students.
Two related notes:
- If you're not familiar with FINDS, this is a good time to check it out. It is a research process model for Florida students. Some schools use The Big 6 or other models, but a few years ago, many schools didn't use ANY model...and FINDS was born. If your school still hasn't adopted a school-wide model, make it happen! Information literacy is at the heart of our jobs these days
- Check out this new article in T.H.E. Journal: Library 2.0 - Enter the Teacher Librarian Enthusiast. It's part 1 of 2 and it couldn't have come at a better time. Our school libraries are in crisis!
