Showing how to deprioritize tools-based research in favour of encouraging critical thinking, this book demonstrates why inquiry is the first step towards deep learning, and why it should begin with asking the right questions rather than finding the right answers, and presents strategies for viewing curiosity as a process.

In our technology-saturated world, all the answers we seek are at our fingertips. Right? Though students might think so, educators know otherwise. But beyond merely helping students find answers to questions, information literacy instruction ought to ignite within students a spirit of inquiry: a discerning curiosity that will spur them to dig deeper when conducting research. Here, Reale outlines such an approach. Showing how to deprioritize tools-based research in favor of encouraging critical thinking, in this book she

demonstrates why inquiry is the first step towards deep learning, and why it should begin with asking the right questions rather than finding the right answers;
presents strategies for viewing curiosity as a process;
shares methods and techniques that will kindle a spirit of inquiry, from discussion questions and reflective journals to one-on-one consultations and classroom workshops;
shows how I-Search assignments can offer students valuable guidance and encouragement to think; and
discusses how collaboration and communication with faculty can help lead to information literacy instruction that focuses on the conceptual rather than tools.

Filled with numerous examples of inquiry in action drawn from Reale’s own experiences, her book can be a catalyst for cultivating curiosity and enthusiasm in student researchers.
