Online databases and Media LiteracyAmy PowerFebruary 2013
School Library Collections & Educational Technology
School libraries contribute two types of information resources to teaching and learning by school libraries: books and periodicals, and databases accessed via the Internet.
This includes both free content on the World Wide Web and licensed databases to which the library must subscribe for a fee.
Both types of resources exhibited persistent, positive influences on students’ test scores.

Media Literacy Media Literacy is the ability to access, analyze,
evaluate and create media in a variety of forms. Media Literacy is a 21st century approach to
education. It provides a framework to access, analyze, evaluate, create and participate with messages in a variety of forms — from print to video to the Internet. Media literacy builds an understanding of the role of media in society as well as essential skills of inquiry and self-expression necessary for citizens of a democracy.

Continued… Teacher librarians help develop
strategies for integrating transliteracy skills into subject areas across the curriculum.
Students should know a range of transliteracy skills demonstrating that youth learn in the contemporary online environment.
