  4. Issues facing school libraries

  5. Non-Fiction in a information literate school

  6. The evidence from the evaluation demonstrated that information literacy is not well developed in most schools and particularly not in secondary schools with little evidence that schools were explicitly and systematically implementing an information process model across the curriculum. Very few schools were using a school-wide information processing model and it was found that many students could not articulate a common approach.

  7. Information literacy @MWS • Prep for learning • Teacher led • Part of lesson planning • Part of T&L within school • Heavy use of PLUS model • Part of appraisal process/teacher standards • Regular training • SLT implemented • School Development Plan & Department Action Plans

  8. Prep for learning • No homework • Prep is carried out before lesson • Important part of T&L • Lots of literacy and IL potential

  9. Teacher led • Library does not train students in IL • Embedded in every lesson • Teachers deliver the skills needed to students • Each piece of work set utilises IL

  10. Part of T&L & PLUS model • Use of PLUS model for all work set • P&L section used within lesson • All students go away with idea of what’s needed • Fits into literacy

  11. Part of appraisal process & SLT • All teaching staff as part of their appraisal have IL focus • A feature of SGP • A must on Department Action Plans • Learning walk focus • Book scrutiny focus • SLT directed

  12. Non fiction national picture • CIFFA October 2011 stated Non fiction borrowing down 15% • YLG Cilip group stated Non fiction borrowing in schools down. • In 2006 NF loan mean was 4.02 • In 2011 NF loan mean was 2.7 • 2012 Nielsen BookScan NF sales down 9% in 5 years • Estimated £41.1m made up of study guides - £22.6 and TV tie-in books

  13. Non fiction in schools • Borrowing figures down • Reading for pleasure/browsing stable • Reading for educational gain down • Use of NF for research based study down

  14. New thoughts in NF • Herts working group The way non fiction is used in schools has never changed, yet the environment we work in, education and the world, especially technology has. So should we continue in the same vein when it doesn’t seem to be working? Aims • Understand how NF is used in schools • Discover what the problems are • Find a solution

  15. Non fiction @ MWS • “How are NF books used in our library” • I’m studying ?? in science do you have any books to help? • I want a book on animals, but not a story book! • Can I have a box of books on reproduction please? • 3 different types of collections • Dept resources • Short loan resources • Facts4fun

  16. The Dewey question • What are we really wanting the students to learn about searching • Dewey is just one way of many in ordering books • We use ordering for all sorts of things The skill to know how to find out what system is used is the key. Once we know different places use different systems and we have the skills and knowledge to find out what system that is we can locate anything, anywhere.
