Abstract

This article presents the unique online learning contexts and content in which Net generation students are currently engaging, and challenges school libraries to take a different approach to literacy instruction. More specifically, it explores the role school libraries can play in developing information literacy curriculum that enables students to cope with rapid changes in multimodal forms of communication, while fostering critical thinking skills that offset students' risky online surfing behaviours. Current research and literacy theory supporting the incorporation of multiliteracy pedagogy and critical thinking in school library curriculum is examined.
