- Curriculum Initiative: An Agenda and Strategy for Library Media Programs. Eisenberg, Michael B. Berkowitz, Robert E. Cognitive Processes Curriculum Development Elementary Secondary Education Learning Resources Centers Library Instruction Library Skills Media Specialists School Libraries Systems Approach This book is intended to provide practicing school library media specialists and students in professional degree-granting programs with both a conceptual framework and practical approaches to the curriculum-related responsibilities of the school library media program. The responsibilities discussed include both library and information skills instruction and curriculum support services. A new definition of curriculum support services is provided, which encompasses five interrelated areas: (1) curriculum resources provision; (2) reading and guidance; (3) information services; (4) curriculum consultation; and (5) curriculum development. A "big six" skills curriculum for library and information skills is detailed, based on the information problem-solving process of task definition, information-seeking strategies, location and access, information use, synthesis, and evaluation. It is argued that these two major curriculum-related functions--curriculum support services and library and information skills instruction--must be systematically supported, and a six-stage strategy for library media curriculum program development and management is provided. The use of curriculum mapping to collect, store, retrieve, and present information is detailed, and a structure for designing integrated unit and lesson plans is provided. The text is supplemented by 45 figures, and Appendix A lists the types of sources/systems to be considered under location skills; Appendix B outlines the steps for conducting a time management survey.
