Teacher asks me for resources related to Gwinnett AKS
Communicate through a meeting or email for ideas of possible activities the teacher has
planned for the students
Compile a list of information skills that are related and discuss with the teacher which
would be best to cover for this AKS
Use Destiny Quest to create a list of books, DVDs, videos and any other resources that
are already at our school
Use WebPath Express to create a list of appropriate websites
Search other Gwinnett schools using Destiny Quest (books can be loaned)
Create list of possible resources from public library
Create list of articles from Galileo
Create possible information skills lesson plans for unit
Objective and Grade Level:
Gwinnett County 4th grade Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS)
Ms. Martinez-gifted students (whole group, small group, and individual activities)
SCIENCE AKS:
 compare and contrast the earth and other planets in our solar system
Related Information Skills:
There are many information skills related to the above objective. I would meet with the
teacher to select which skills need to be taught at this time. For example, if this project was
scheduled for the end of the year, then students would already know how to use Destiny Quest
and WebPath Express because those skills are usually taught the first nine weeks of school.


Appropriateness of content to users-focuses on the intellectual content of a resource
in relation to its intended use and audience (Bishop, 2007)
Authenticity-information presented in materials should be valid, reliable, complete
and current (Bishop, 2007)

WEBSITES (USING WEBPATH EXPRESS):
Discover the differences between terrestrial, Jovian, and dwarf planets, as you learn about the
planets in our solar system. Learn about the spinning blob of gases called a protosun that
became our Sun. Investigate the moons and rings that orbit the planets, the asteroids and
comets that orbit the Sun, and the heliosphere that surrounds the entire solar system. Read
about the interplanetary magnetic field, the solar winds caused by plasma exploding out of the
Sun, and the aurora borealis caused by the interaction of solar winds and Earth's magnetic field.
Topic: Solar system
URL: http://www.cosmos4kids.com
Our solar system is made up of planets and their satellites, the sun, comets, asteroids,
meteoroids, interplanetary dust and gas. Learn how the solar system is measured and access
chapters on the sun and solar wind and the major planets. The movements of the planets and
their origins are also discussed. A chart of the major planets compares their size, rotation
periods, surface gravity and distance from the sun. Is the sun a star? Can you name the all of
the planets? These answers are here. You can also explore related terms such as star or visit the
space directory for an index of related information and articles.
Topic: Solar system
URL: http://www.worldalmanacforkids.com
From the formation of the solar system to the debate over Pluto's planethood, Fact Monster is
filled with informative articles about the solar system. Read about the sun, the moon, and each
of the planets. Calculate your age and weight on other planets. Discover where the planets and
their satellites got their names. Find out when you can see Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn in
the sky. Take a look beyond Pluto to the possibility of a tenth planet, or even more! Did you
know that the current debate is not the first time Pluto's status has come under question?
Topic: Solar system
URL: http://www.factmonster.com
Our solar system consists of four rocky planets near the Sun, an asteroid belt of planet
leftovers, and four gas giants. Explore the differences between the rocky planets and the
lightweight gas giants. An icy world named Pluto and one thousand other icy objects form the
Kuiper Belt, while a region of faraway comets form the Oort Cloud. Gather knowledge about
the planets, solar system, and universe at this site for kids by the European Space Agency.
Topic: Solar system
URL: http://www.esa.int
Discover the two ways that planets move as they make their way through the solar system.
Gain a greater understanding of orbits, as you find out about the comets and asteroids that
circle the sun too. Investigate what Albert Einstein had to say about gravity, and learn about
how gravity works. While gravity pulls you or a pencil toward the ground, the sun's gravity pulls
on the planets. Identify the inner and outer planets and understand that Pluto is different.
Topic: Solar system
URL: http://content.scholastic.com
Get the answers you have been looking for right here about the solar system. Learn what the
solar system consists of and how many planets are present. A diagram shows the location of
each of the planets. Continue on to page two to learn how the solar system formed, how old it
is and how far it reaches. There is also information about the planets, asteroid belts, comets
and much more. This is a great source for facts about our solar system.
Topic: Solar system, Solar system--Origin

Subject Headings:
Using Sears as the authority, there are several subject headings that would be appropriate for
the objective of comparing and contrasting the earth and other planets in our solar system.




Outer space
Solar system
Planets
Space environment
In order to make access to these resources easier, I would update the catalog records in Destiny
to include these subject headings. Then, when the students enter the library, I will
demonstrate how to do a subject heading search using Destiny Quest to find relevant materials.
“Quick and Dirty” Version:
A real life scenario may be that a teacher provides me with only one hour to prepare materials
for their class. The following are the quick and necessary steps I would take in order to prepare
a useful bibliography for the class.






Determine the topic and AKS that the teacher is addressing.
Conduct a Destiny search for relevant books, videos and DVDs in the collection.
Pull the determined items from the shelves to a table for easy user access.
Conduct a Galileo search for relevant articles.
Review bookmarked websites for relevance and conduct a search through WebPath
Express for relevant websites.
Prepare some suggestions for how the resources can be used.

Reflection:
I think this was a great project to pull together many of the aspects of cataloging. By gathering
materials in the actual media center it absolutely facilitates access and with the inclusion of
websites and Galileo articles, technology is incorporated as well. I found that technology was
especially important for this assignment, as the books in the collection were somewhat dated.
Researching the appropriate Sears subject headings helped me to better understand that
aspect of standard accepted practice. It was also easier to incorporate information literacy
when using a specific topic.
Shannon and I work very well together, and we collaborate easily. For this assignment, we both
worked on creating the annotated bibliography, I was responsible for the selection criteria,
subject headings, “quick and dirty” version and references and Shannon was responsible for the
procedure log and the objective and grade level.
