Criteria for selection of the high schools included membership and active participation in the High Schools That Work program (Southern Regional Education Board), membership in SUNLINK (the electronic information resource database for K-12 public schools in the state of Florida), SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) accreditation, and the degree to which they were incorporating technology within the vocational education curriculum in the school. A small (student population of approximately 1,000) rural high school, a suburban school with a student population of approximately 2,000, and a large (student population over 3,000) urban school were selected for the study, and agreed to participate. Interviews or observations were conducted with the building principal or assistant principal for curriculum, the school library media specialist, and six vocational education teachers in each school. Teachers were asked to identify the information resources available to them in their classrooms or in the school, and to specify those resources that they used personally, those that they used in their classrooms or the school library media center, and those to which they referred students. Teachers were also asked about the degree to which they collaborated with the library media specialist to incorporate information resources and information literacy skills into classroom work. |
