Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are putting educators under pressure to examine what works and what doesn't.

Heine, Carl, and Dennis O'Connor. Teaching Information Fluency: How to Teach Students to Be Efficient, Ethical, and Critical Information Consumers. Lanham, MD: Scarecrow, 2014.
ISBN: 978-0-8108-9062-6

The intent of the book is to provide readers ways to improve their performance as consumers of digital information and to help teachers devise useful ways to integrate information fluency instruction into their teaching, since deliberate instruction is needed to develop fluency. Since it is unlikely that dedicated class time will be available for such instruction, … [read more<http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/2014/03/teaching-information-fluency_26.html>]

Brown, Amy. Let's Start the Music: Programming for Primary Grades. Chicago: ALA Editions, 2014.
ISBN: 978-0-8389-1166-2

Music programs have been scaled back or eliminated altogether from the curricula of many schools. Luckily, storytimes offer ideal opportunities for music and songs. In this collection of easy-to-use, easy-to-adapt library programs for children in grades K-3, Brown connects songs and musical activities directly to books kids love to read. Offering several thematic programs, complete with stories, songs, and flannelboard and other activities, her book includes … [read more<http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/2014/03/lets-start-music.html>]
