Build Your Information Literacy Instruction With Pop Culture
Publicizing the Ultimate Library Program Building on the information needs and the learning style preferences of today's high school students, the author builds a case for using pop culture (TV shows, fads, and current technology) to build integrated information skills lessons for students. Chapters include a rationale, a review of the current literature, and examples of units of study incorporating popular culture and technology. There is serious discussion in the media about today's youth, the Echo Boomers, and their connection with technology. Our high school students tell us that they have few meals with their families, that they want their teachers and their school's decision makers to listen to them and take their ideas seriously, and that they use the little free time they have to talk to or instant message with their friends or to play video games. Author and media critic Jon Katz says, Technology is youth culture. These kids are building a revolution. Technology is part of their ideology, their language, everything they do. Building on the information needs and the learning style preferences of today's high school students, the author builds a case for using pop culture (TV shows, fads and current technology) to build integrated information-skills lessons for students. Chapters include a rationale, a review of the current literature, and examples of units of study incorporating popular culture and technology. Grades 7-12.

"Using Pop Culture to Teach Information Literacy: Methods to Engage a New Generation" by Linda D. Behen is a great book for any school librarian or public librarian looking for ways to teach students about information literacy and connect with them on a personal level. Behen includes tips on how to find the best pop culture information from teens and shows exactly how to inact them in the information literacy program. She even tells how to best create a school-wide information literacy model, including an example Graded Course of Study Approval. The list of what students need to know in Chapter 7 is a great formula for librarians wanting to know exactly what 21st century skills students need to succeed in school, work, and life. I recommend this book! While other books I have recently read that were published in or around 2006 feel dated already, it's not the case with this publication of Behen's. Pop culture's specific celebrities and favorite shows may change, but the actual template and model that Behen provides in this book will help librarians that serve elementary and high school students for a long time to come!
