= UELMA 2012 - // Curiouser and Curiouser: Advocating a Passion for Questions and Questing // =

PROMOTING A CULTURE OF CURIOSITY
Alice had a passion for discovering Wonderland, but how effective would her searching be in the 21st century? Do your students have that same passion but even better skills? Does your school library sparkle with a culture of curiosity? Learn how school librarians can present information literacy as relevant to children and teens. Do students understand the advantage of living an information and media literate life? Do their parents, the community leaders understand and, if not, how can you help communicate the need to them? See an example of demonstrating to students a personal passion for effective research. Participate in a discussion about which stakeholders need to be involved in the discourse and discover your role in this critical process.
