The Points About Inquiry, and There are Many
Abstract
Ekdahl shares background to the creation of the British Columbia Teacher-Librarian Association (BCTLA) resource “Points of Inquiry”, discussing the challenges of content, scope and sequence, vs. information literacy in educational requirements and the roots of information literacy growth in BC schools. She includes challenges incurred with curricular infusion of information literacy both in schools and on the BCTLA Information Literacy Task Force, ultimately leading to a model for a K-12 inquiry approach.
