Subject: [aaslforum] SHARE: 5 Things Every Teacher Should be Doing to Meet the 
Common Core State Standards

There is a clear need for libraries and research skills in the new Common Core 
standards, but I've barely seen the words "library" or "librarian" mentioned, if 
I have at all. This white paper mentions library research ("using multiple 
sources of information") but doesn't call it that, or suggest that teachers 
collaborate with their librarian unfortunately. It's a little silly actually 
because where do they think teachers going to get these "multiple sources of 
information"?:

5. Increase Text Complexity

"Besides making sure that an individual text is challenging enough, you can also 
raise the level of content
in your classroom by using multiple sources of information. Providing multiple 
sources on the same topic
can help students see a variety of perspectives, and it can help students adjust 
to texts at varying levels of
difficulty."

The Internet may be the world's greatest library, but let's face it - all the 
books are scattered on the floor.  - D.C. Denison, Boston Globe

Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant. 
- Mitchell Kapor

To save man from the morass of propaganda, in my opinion, is one of the chief 
aims of education. Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to 
discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from 
the fiction ... The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think 
intensively and to think critically. - Martin Luther King, Jr., The Purpose of 
Education
