Information Studies (OLA/OSLA)
OLA | School Library | Tim Gauntley, Liz Kerr, Joanne LaForty
Since 1929, the Ontario School Library Association has taken an active role in encouraging a love of reading and in implementing a program of information skills for all students in Ontario. In 1982, OSLA worked closely with the Ministry of Education to create the curriculum document, Partners in Action: the School Library Resource Centre in the School Curriculum. When it became apparent that information technology was transforming the learning environment, OSLA advocated for and participated in the writng of Information Literacy and Equitable Access, a Ministry of Education and Training document, released in draft form in 1995. In 1996, OSLA recognized the need for a comprehensive curriculum to ensure that all students have a solid foundation in Information Studies in Ontario. The Information Literacy Task Force was created to research the information knowledge and skills needed by today's students. In 1997, the Information Studies Writing Team was struck and drafts of Information Studies, Kindergarten to Grade 12, 1998 was released in January and May 1998 for field testing and revision across the province. This first edition of Information Studies, Kindergarten to Grade 12, 1998 though not commissioned by the Ontario Ministry of Education and Training, aligns with the Ontario Curriculum documents to date.
