Preface From June 9 to July 11, 1980; eleven teams made up of high school English teachers and librarians participated in the "Libraries, Librarians, and Secondary School Teachers" workshop at Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana; sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities.At the conclusion of the five week period, the teams submitted reports describing the programs they intended to implement in their schools based on the Vb skills they had learned. 4 i Copies of these reports have been sent to the principals and superintendents of the schools imvolved. This volume contains sample pages, from'each report which, I hope, will give the_reader a taste of what went on in the workshop and a sense of what will go on in the classroom. I hope that in pulling what I thought were representative selections I have'given a fair and accurate picture of each project. As the program begins its second year, I would like to mention those who contributed to the first year's success. The members of the Advisory Committee --- Leroy Click, Instructor of English; EVan'ra Farber, Librarian, Earinam College; Jesse F. McCartney, Director of Instructional Development; FrankJ. Sparzo, Coordinator of University Evaluations; and M. Kay Stickle, Coordinator of the Resource Center for Public School Services--- helped in the selection, the perfection, and the evaluation of the projects. Daryl B. Adrian, Chairman of the English Department; Ray R. Suput, University Librarian; Norman J. Norton, ActingDean of the College of Sciences and Humanities; and Stephen H. Wurster, Dean for Academic Planning and Faculty Development gave support and encouragement. Charles E. Smith, Director of the Offihe of Research,and James R. Johnson, Contracts and Grants Officer, helped greatly in the administration of the project. Neal Coil, Reference Librarian, was outstanding both in the classroom and in his day to day work with the team. Barbara Bradt kept everything going smoothly in the office. Thank you all. 2Awsted E.

One, a \\tudent must have permission to come to the library from his,olassroom teacher. If the teacher makes little -or no uae`of the library, the student's opportunities for 1 visitationarelimited.Two, students who have access to the libraryoftendo not know enough about search strategy to find the information they want. Consequently, they leave discouraged, believing that the library doe's not have the information. The purpose pf this project is to establish a course-related library instruction unit for eleventh grade A-level English students. This unit will give the students an opportunity to learn the skills needed to find information, evaluate it, take notes 'on it 4nd prepare a written report. In addition, the program will ettract the\interest of the faculty and will lead to the establishment of cimilprprograms in other subject areas of the cu rriculum. Four eleventh grade A-leVol English classes, which represent approximately 120 students, will participate in this unit of study. At Highland, A-level students are a mix of better-thin-aver4e and o011ege preparatory students. The instruction will be coniticted four times J SC/EH 3 during the school year at six to eight week intervals. Each session will vary in length, and a variety of instructional methods and materials will be used. These four sessions will, provide students with alogibal step- by-step procedure for researching and preparing a written report. The unit begins with a self-guided tour of the library and the introduction of the search strategy model presented in the NEHWorkshop.'Students are asked to choose a topic and follow each step of the model in collecting information. This assignment and all subs°- , quent.assignments will be evaluated by the instructors and kept in individual student files in the English clasiroom. A student will have access to his own file and will be encouraged to refer to it as the unit progresses. In the second session the students are taught the C. fundamentals of note taking and report writing. Students tend to copy information verbatim from sources without giving credit and without gaining any real understanding of the material. With this instruction, students should be able to identify important points
