Ken Haycock:Ken Haycock: An information process model, as a support

structure, fosters the development of research, problem-solving and metacognitive skills through the collaboration of the classroom teacher and teacher-librarian. These concise models inform students of the problem-solving process and provide context for the assignment.    When young researchers understand an information process model, they can comprehend the extent of the task facing them and the necessary strategies to complete it.• Information Process Models

information process model, they use common vocabulary to clarify terminology and label behaviors, each necessary to enhance metacognition.    A school-wide information process model allows students to gradually develop expert use patterns that enable them to reduce reliance on the scaffold and to use the model in different contexts, both in and out of school.• Information Process Models

Information Search Process The Information Search Process (ISP) is

a six stage model of the users’ holistic experience in the process of information seeking.  The ISP model, based on two decades of empirical research, identifies three realms of experience: the affective (feelings), the cognitive (thoughts) and the physical (actions) common to each stage. • Abstract

to offer “an integrated unit of inquiry planned and guided by an instructional team of a school librarian and teachers, together allowing students to gain deeper understandings of subject area curriculum content and information literacy concepts.  It combines often overlooked outside resources with materials in the school library.  The team guides students toward developing skills and abilities necessary for the workplace and daily living in the rapidly changing information environment of the 21st century. ”• Introduction to Guided Inquiry – what is it, what’s new, why now?
