COPY ISBN
In promoting a holistic approach to teaching, Lukenbill and Immroth assert that health information need not be limited to physical-education classes or specific classroom units. Rather, it can be integrated throughout the curriculum, and school librarians are in the unique position to facilitate and advocate for this change. What follows are suggestions for developing health-information literacy throughout the standard subjects, guides for planning health fairs and other outreach activities, and an overview of search strategies for educators to impart to students. Teeming with ideas, the book also includes a comprehensive list of databases, websites, and links to professional organizations that specialize in health issues.—Joanna K.
