contents Guiding Research: A Collaborative Approach Derrico, Regina Dunlavey Library Materials Research Papers (Students) Social Change Resource Materials Electronic Libraries Printed Materials Public Libraries High School Students Access to Information Information Sources Technology Uses in Education In this article, the author relates her library experiences in high school. She considers those trips to the central library in downtown Buffalo as the hallmark of her eleventh-grade education. Now, she observes how the old way of doing research in the library was so different from what is practiced nowadays. Students nowadays who are considered digital natives believe that libraries have always provided the opportunity to access information via computers. Just as teachers encourage students to view issues and texts from a variety of perspectives, they also need to ensure that students gather information from a variety of sources. Use of digital resources only, often gives student researchers only part of the picture and provides inadequate support for their projects. Technology can indeed have the power to make students passive receivers of whatever comes across the screen, but when supported by thoughtful guidance from teachers and librarians, it has the power to transform students' lives by making learning more relevant, more active, and more generative.
