Abstract

This research investigated the extent to which students acquire and teachers promote information literacy skills and school librarians' effort for implementation of information literacy programs. Using concepts from information literacy theory, the researcher shows ways how library practice would change if librarians redefined themselves as literacy educators. Also, teachers have to learn how to integrate information literacy framework into their teaching, because that teachers could to teach information literacy must be information literate themselves and must have space and technical possibilities for carrying out the process. The research shows at what levels of information literacy have primary school students and, through the presentation of their project work, shows way for evaluation of students' information literacy skills according Standards for the 2 J st Century Learner (American Association of School Librarians [AASL], 2007) and on the basis of Big 6 model (Eisenberg, M. and Berkovitz, R., 1990). The study included 20 teachers, two school librarians and 115 students of 7th grade classes (12 ages) from two elementary schools in Montenegro. A combined research methods are used to obtain a more complete picture of teaching / learning information literacy process. Results show that it is necessary, in our schools, to apply more active learning methods of interactive learning which would help students to develop information literacy and practical knowledge and skills for lifelong learning.
