Behen, Linda D.
Libraries Unlimited
Building on the information needs and the learning style preferences of today's high school students, the author builds a case for using pop culture (TV shows, fads, and current technology) to build integrated information skills lessons for students. Chapters include a rationale, a review of the current literature, and examples of units of study incorporating popular culture and technology. Following the Introduction, the Table of Contents lists the following chapters: (1) Today's Teens, Technology, and Pop Culture; (2) Why Does Library Instruction Have to Be Fun?; (3) Finding and Using Pop Culture in Our Library Instruction; (4) Putting the Cool into Your Library: Inspiring This Generation; (5) The Big Buy-in from Administration and Teachers; (6) Life in the Real World; (7) What They Need To Know; (8) Build Your Information Literacy Instruction With Pop Culture; and (9) Publicizing the Ultimate Library Program.
