Because the teacher librarian has an important educational role to play in assisting students to become independent learners by applying the inquiry process to library research, this booklet has been designed to assist teacher librarians in teaching students the information skills appropriate to stage three of the inquiry process, i.e., analyzing and selecting or rejecting information. A section on reading skills defines five skills necessary for students to deal effectively with information from a variety of sources and presents strategies to enable them to identify keywords, determine the main idea in a paragraph, question while reading to establish a clear purpose for reading, and learn skimming and scanning techniques to determine what to read or what not to read. In addition, strategies are presented for the application of the reading skills at three levels: surveying the resource to determine if it is suitable; surveying the information within the resource to determine whether it is appropriate to the student's purpose and reading level; and reading the previously defined relevant sections in detail to identify the main idea and supporting details as a prelude to taking notes.
