Robert E. Berkowitz

Bob is a strong believer in goals-oriented management, the library media specialist as a key partner in the excellence in education - effective schools movement, and the integration of critical thinking skills into library & information skills instruction. Putting these ideas into action, Bob acted as Library Media Specialist Consultant to a research skills-based English curriculum project that won National Council of Teachers of English recognition as a Center of Excellence in English and the Language Arts.

Bob and Mike Eisenberg have collaborated on a number of books and projects, most notably Curriculum Initiative: An Agenda and Strategy for Library Media Programs (1988), Resource Companion to Curriculum Initiative (1988), Information Problem-Solving: The Big Six Approach to Library & Information Skills Instruction (1990), Helping with Homework (1996), Teaching Information & Technology Skills: The Big6 in Elementary Schools (1999), Teaching Information & Technology Skills: The Big6 in Secondary Schools (2000).
