Now comes the time of the inquiry process that teacher-librarians live for—helping students find the resources to answer the questions they created in step 1. We know that students avoid print material like cockroaches avoid light, but we
can lure them back into stacks by incorporating electronic materials into the collection. The Thomson-Gale Publishing Company’s U-X-L encyclopedia series features a variety of reference resources that come in both print and e-book
format. Encourage the students to use print form while in the media center, and finish with the
e-book format in the classroom or from home. Most school systems also subscribe to reliable online sources such as Grolier Online Passport, World Book Online, and Big Chalk/Electric Library. Of course, there will always be students
(and teachers) who feel that everything-you-everwanted- to-know-about-everything can be found using Google, but savvy teacher-librarians can change that way of thinking using the Web site evaluation resources available on Discovery School’s Kathy Schrock’s Guide for Educators. Once students create a plan for completing their inquiry project, with resources included, then review and revise their plan, it is on to the collecting and crediting phase of the inquiry process.
