Databases, Collection Development, and Student Learning
Ivory, Amy; Viens, Lisha
Knowledge Quest, v48 n2 p17-23 Nov-Dec 2019
When talking about collection development, few school librarians think about databases. Databases provide learners with a one-stop shop for cross-curricular, up-to-date, vetted information in a structured and easy-to-manipulate format for class projects. To be successful learners, students need to know how to use a database to find the information they need. Throughout this article the authors illustrate how to use databases in high school instruction, provide an overview of the databases available, and offer some troubleshooting advice to navigate databases. Additionally, they highlight how database instruction ties directly to the specific Domains and Competencies in the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) Standards Framework for Learners (2018).
