contents Research High: Most of Middletown's Kids Used to Think Research Was Spelled G-o-o-g-l-e. My, How Times Have Changed Whelan, Debra Lau Librarians Information Skills Information Literacy Case Studies Program Effectiveness Program Descriptions Library Development Librarian Teacher Cooperation Students at Middletown High School are not turning to Google as their main source of information. Cecelia Freda, Middletown's head librarian, was responsible for making sure that students learn the basics of research. Before Freda's arrival at Middletown, most of the school's students were clueless about anything having to do with library. Now, these students readily search through print materials and know what pathfinders are. They even know about cross referencing, Boolean searches, and periodical indexing. In fact, all of the school's nearly 1,500 students are required to master a list of 25 in-depth information literacy skills before they graduate. This article describes how Freda launched a school-wide research literacy program at Middletown. This article also describes in detail how Freda reorganized Middletown High School South library.
