                    electronic searching of available catalogs and databases
                    appreciation of information and literature
                    determining the most appropriate information sources for the task
                    note-taking
                    bibliographies
                    the research process
                    evaluation of web sites' authority and accuracy
                    reference skills (especially to verify web site accuracy)

PARTNERING
I want to partner with you in planning, designing curriculum, teaching, and assessing students' work.
  • Do you have a new unit coming up?
  • Do you have a unit that needs a change and more student involvement?
  • Do you need a topic bibliography?
  • Are you wondering how much to expect of students when researching?
  • Are students citing their sources appropriately when they research?

I select material and manage collection development and cataloging, and can help you find:
  • book reviews
  • outstanding books
  • sources for purchase for student research on a given topic
  • articles or other resources for your professional development
  • sources for curricular planning
  • appropriate online databases and websites

ADMINISTRATION
I also:
