Presented as a professional development workshop to secondary teachers, this document examines various techniques and strategies for appropriate library use. Recognizing the teacher's need for practical information, the presentation is designed to: explain the role of the library in the educational process; provide information on how to locate resource materials; explain hands-on research strategies using worksheets, treasure hunts, workbooks, etc.; and provide practical information on how to integrate library and resource material usage into class projects by means of mock trials, historical reenactments, science fairs, panel discussions, and other activities. The use of artistic talent in class assignments as well as research strategies and research paper ideas for the humanities, social sciences, and sciences are also discussed. Several bibliographies are included: Sources of Ideas; The Vertical File; Library Instruction Guides; and Selected Library Reference Sources and Resource Guides. A supplement--Who to Contact for Information and How--provides addresses and ideas on sources of free or inexpensive resource materials. (Author/THC)
