> Librarians, in particular, have a multi-dimensional responsibility in the 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 W. Cannell, The State Education Department, the University of the State of New York in a memo dated April 11, 2013

> To be ready for college, workforce training, and life in a technological society, students need the ability to gather, comprehend, evaluate, synthesize, 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, 2010, p. 4

> There is no fiction or nonfiction area of the Internet. - Alan November
