- Teaching Information Literacy to High School Freshmen Sabol, Elizabeth A. Information Processing Information Literacy High School Students School Libraries Library Services Electronic Libraries Library Skills In this article, the author describes how the tragedy of a fire at Shikellamy High School in Sunbury, Pennsylvania helped her, together with Ellen Boyer, Shikellamy High School Drama/Communication Arts teacher, light a fire under their students. They were able to launch the new Information Literacy curriculum with an 11 period introduction to the library. They designed a "Nonconformist" unit to introduce the new Information Literacy curriculum, The POWER Library, and the Big6 research method. The author believes that the Big6 provides an easy-to-demonstrate, easy-to-grasp information processing model for improving Information Literacy.
