ANNOUNCING*A NEW ONLINE MAGAZINE FOR TEACHERS OF INFORMATION LITERACY SKILLS

We are pleased to announce the premier issue of "Educators' Spotlight Digest," the 
first multimedia, online magazine dedicated to providing information and ideas to 
teachers of information literacy skills. The contents of the inaugural issue 
include: 

- a feature story on how kids are using the Web; 

- news about relevant information literacy projects and activities; 

- tips on how to address copyright issues;

- successful motivational teaching strategies submitted by library media 
specialists;

- valuable resources available through AASL; 

- an article by a guest contributor on transforming research on student motivation 
into effective teaching strategies; 

- amusing and poignant teaching anecdotes by a veteran classroom teacher; and

- archived issues of the publication in its previous format.

We hope you will read "Educators' Spotlight Digest" at http://www.sosspotlight.org/ 
and share the news of this valuable resource with your students and colleagues. We 
also hope that you'll contribute to the content of future issues (e.g., as guest 
writer contributors, offering motivational strategies, providing news stories 
related to national information literacy projects, etc.) and provide us with 
feedback about the quality and content of this extraordinary new resource. 

Educators' Spotlight Digest is published three times per year and is a free, online 
publication of "S.O.S. for Information Literacy," a project of Syracuse 
University's Center for Digital Literacy, in collaboration with the American 
Association of School Librarians and funded by the Institute of Museum and Library 
Services.
