185. The LEARNS Literacy Assessment Profile Drawing from a variety of national literacy assessments, LLAP was created by theLEARNS partners at Bank Street College of Education in collaboration with the http://www.nwrel.org/learns/resources/llap/

Produced by LEARNS Bank Street College of Education Drawing from a variety of national literacy assessments, LLAP was created by the LEARNS partners at Bank Street College of Education in collaboration with the Corporation for National and Community Service. LLAP provides an assessment option for reading efforts that use volunteers, including America Reads projects. LLAP also gives project directors data that can be aggregated for program evaluation and reporting purposes. Effective assessment reveals children’s strengths as well as areas that need support. Using LLAP enables tutors to observe what children can do, and makes connections between tutoring activities and assessment of progress. As a result, LLAP can also help tutors design sessions that will meet the learning needs of individual children. LLAP is not a reading test . Instead, it is an observation tool. LLAP addresses three stages of literacy development: emergent, beginning, and early independent. These stages are not age or grade specific, but instead describe behaviors children exhibit as they learn to read. The following PDF files of LLAP comes complete with step-by-step instructions for how to use the instrument and how to aggregate the data. LEARNS staff are also available to answer questions or guide you through the tool. Simply click on the Continue button to download the files or contact a LEARNS partner via our toll-free numbers if you have a question, a concern, or any feedback. You can also learn more about how to use LLAP at LEARNS training events. Call for updated information on trainings near you, (800) 361-7890 or (800) 930-5664

186. Bibliography Of Print Resources On Library Instruction Extensive list of print resources relating to information literacy and library instruction divided into ten categories. http://www.msu.edu/user/lorenze1/

Bibliography of Print Resources on Library Instruction by Michael Lorenzen (Please note that I have left Michigan State University as of March 14th, 2003 to become the Head of Reference Services at Central Michigan University. That means I will soon lose access to this page hosted at MSU. I am not sure how long this will remain up. I believe it may remain here for several years as I am using space given to students and faculty for personal use that is rarely deleted. In the meantime, I am leaving this up as it ranks highly in Google for the term library instruction. Obviously, this page is no longer being updated. I will continue updating this page at http://www.libraryinstruction.com in the future.) This is my collection of print resources for library instruction (AKA bibliographic instruction) that I have collected over the years of my library career. Many have requested copies of this list as it has grown so I have placed it online for easy access. This list makes no attempts at being comprehensive despite the fact it has over 300 items included. I have left off many resources which I haven't had the chance to look at or I didn't think were that great. I have only included resources I have read and I feel make a contribution to understanding library instruction. I have divided this list into ten categories: History - This grouping is for resources that either are of great significance to the development of library instruction or articles about this history. Many of these articles, written a century ago, would be in a different category had they been written recently.

The Center supported research projects examining how students learn to write, how teachers can best help students who come from an increasing diversity of cultural backgrounds, how writing can be used more effectively across the curriculum, how larger social forces (such as ethnic background, relations with family members, social class, and the neighborhood) affect success in school, how we might develop better ways to assess what students are learning, and how new technologies and new demands in the workplace affect the literacy skills students need to learn.

191. Information Literacy: Making Library-Related Assignments Ilene Frank, Tampa Libr Links to various definitions and to articles and references focusing on creating effective library assignments. http://www.lib.usf.edu/ref/ifrank/infolit.html

Information Literacy Definitions of Information Literacy Making Library-Related Assignments Definitions of information literacy From a recent Google Glossary search: Definitions for information literacy from the web Information literacy is the ability to identify what information is needed and the ability to locate, evaluate, and use information in solving problems and composing discourse. It encompasses a set of competencies that will provide for survival and success in an information technology environment. The Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) report identifies information literacy as one of five essential skills that the workplace will demand of employees of the future. Teaching information literacy involves communicating the power and scope of information as well as explaining how information is organized, how it is retrieved through a variety of access sources and tools, and how to evaluate, organize, and apply information to a variety of problems and situations."

rality, iteracy, and the Future of Computer-Mediated Communication "I suspect that Ong is correct that a new orality is emerging in the Electronic Age." -Robert M. Fowler, 1994 ith the continued emergence of new forms of electronic communication, speculation has increased about the future of human interaction and the ways in which the new media will influence that interaction. As with any new technology, wild predictions are being made and only time will tell which are accurate. There are, as well, those who are determined to believe that the new technology can only work to the detriment and not the betterment of mankind. Somewhere between these two extremes lies the truth about the future of computer-mediated communication (CMC). As yet we can only speculate on the ways in which the new technology will change our lives. What is becoming increasingly clear, however, is that much of what is being touted as the "information revolution" has very strong ties to past structures of communication such as rality and literacy.
