Our Librarian Won't Tell Us Anything!



You are sitting in science class when your teacher announces that you are going to do an animal research project. You silently groan as you pull out "naked mole-rat" from the hat; you know nothing about naked mole-rats." You groan out loud when your teacher passes out a grading rubric and you read that you need to use a book, an encyclopedia, and a web site to find information. How are you going to find all that? Where are you going to find all that?




Sure, you can go to the Library but it always seems that the librarian never answers your questions and does not get you what you need. It is almost as if she expects you to learn how to find the information you are looking for.


Robert and Carmen are in your shoes. When their teacher Mr. Dickinson assigns them a predator and prey multimedia product- they go to Mrs Skorupski, their school librarian. Carmen insists that "Our librarian won't tell us anything!" But does she really? Does Mrs. Skorupski not tell the them anything?
How does one explain how Robert becomes a "Library Success Story."
4th graders are going to answer the following question:
How does one become a Library Success story?
Please post your answers under comments.

Students become a Library Success Story by listening carefully at the librarian's directions on how to use the OPAC because a librarians job is not to tell you were the books are.
