THE WI Z A RD S OF INFORMAT I O N PRIVATE SCHOOL LIBRARIANS GUIDE STUDENTS TO INFORMATION LITERACY. BY PAM MARINO ONCE UPON A TIME IN A MAGICAL CHAMBER ON NEARLY EVERY SCHOOL CAMPUS, AN ENTIRE universe of imagination and erudition was waiting to be discovered and explored between the pages of carefully bound books, encyclopedias and magazines. Where to find the secret codes, like treasure map clues? They were printed out on small catalogue cards bearing inscrutable Dewey Decimal System numbers, each pointing you to a specific section of a library shelf. Those cards were stacked in tight formation in cabinets on rollers, files you pulled out by hooking your first finger under the curved brass handle. They gave off the musty whiff of aged knowledge and sent you off on a detective mission to find the exact referenced via a scramble of typed numbers and letters and decimal points. They promised a reward worth the hunting, unless the book had been checked out, or worse, purloined. August/September 2016 55 SHUTTERSTOCK
