District Wide Information

Rutger University's RIOT (Research Information Online Tutorial)
http://blog.schoollibraryjournal.com/neverendingsearch/2012/10/09/rutgers-riot/
This article highlights five animated and interactive information literacy lessons in helping students with researching.  Although I introduce these topics in lessons I teach and classroom teachers address these topics of information literacy, these will be added to the media center websites (HS, MS, and WS) for student access so students can refresh or review as needed. The topics include:
- Select and narrow topics and apply limiters,


- Find sources, identify primary, secondary and tertiary sources, use   databases

- Select keywords for database searches

- Identify citations, distinguish between book and journal citations

- Evaluate sources: practice evaluating the quality of sources
