Georgia Information Literacy Checklist

The Georgia Library Media Association and the Georgia Department of Education began a collaborative effort in the summer of 1998 to bring together school library media specialists from across the state at an annual Leadership Institute. The charge was to create tools which will assist in the delivery of quality information literacy skills instruction across the curriculum. The initial task was to extract from existing QCC documents those objectives which are most obviously linked to information access. This work can be found at the Georgia Learning Connections site.

After completing work with the four major academic areas, the participants at the 2000 Leadership Workshop devised a grade-by-grade checklist of information literacy skills that student should know and be able to do as they progress through their academic experiences.

We welcome your comments and concerns. Be assured that the checklists will be addressed and revised as needed during the next GLMA/DOE "Summer Camp."
