Description
For those of us who work with college and university students in our libraries, we sometimes wonder, "Don't these students learn anything about using a library in high school? If they do, they don't seem to retain what they've learned!" And those of us who work with high school students wonder, "Don't these students learn anything about using the library in middle school or elementary school?" and on it goes! We know from our own experiences or from discussions with library colleagues working in elementary schools that librarians devote an extensive amount of time teaching elementary age students information literacy skills. So what's happening? Why do so many of the students and users we encounter seem to forget what they have supposedly learned at an earlier time? What can we do to reinforce what has already been learned?
