Information Literacy:
As stated in Information Power (American Library Association and  the  Association for Educational Communications and Technology, 1998)   "Information literacy - understanding how to access and use information-is at the core of lifelong learning" (p. vii).  The library, in collaboration with PW teachers works with our students  so that they learn how to access and use information in a logical, critical and well defined manner in order to create a product. The research  model used at PW is  the Big 6 Research Process.  Developed by Mike Eisenberg and Bob Berkowitz, the Big6  provides  an easy-to use approach for students which helps to guide them as they learn  research skills.  Our goal is to  ensure that   Pw students will use a variety of tools to help them incorpoate in a systematic process to find, use, apply, and evaluate information for specific needs and tasks.
