Common Core environment. School librarians assist teachers in finding 
appropriate classroom materials, such as informational texts, and assist 
students in completing research to support evidence-based arguments. - Jeffrey

and report on information and ideas, to conduct original research in order to 
answer questions or solve problems, and to analyze and create a high volume and 
extensive range of print and nonprint texts in media forms old and new. The need 
to conduct research and to produce and consume media is embedded into every 
aspect of today's curriculum. In like fashion, research and media skills and 
understandings are embedded throughout the Standards rather than treated in a 
separate section.- Introduction to the Common Core State Standards Initiative,
