A group of school librarians from K-12 libraries and academic librarians from both private and public colleges in the Rochester area
Have discussed the "Information Literacy Continuum" and created a document, Core Library and Research Skills Grade 9-14+. The Committee is composed of academic and school librarians working in collaboration to ensure that K-12+ students learn information seeking skills. This would include the development of a “continuum” of learning, teaching library and information core literacy skills needed as students move on to institutions of higher learning. Use of the NOVEL databases was used as a “starting off” point.
