Keller, Cynthia (2005, November). What Are the Information Literacy Skills Needed by Early Learners to be Successful in School?. School Library Media Activities Monthly 22 (3), 55-58.

In this article, Cynthia Keller recommends that School Library Media Specialists should take an active role and be familiar with standards for early years (pre-k). Standards for children below kindergarten age have been set in 42 states. Keller's (2005) article points out that if these early childhood standards are linked closer with K-12 expectations, then "educators, families and other community members can see the learning opportunities and positive long-term outcomes" (p. 55).
