Why didn't I realise sooner?

The penny has dropped. For ages I have been searching the Internet for a library curriculum and couldn't understand why there wasn't one available. I could find lots of examples of standards from different US states, but couldn't lay my fingers on a curriculum that would tell me how to help my students become information literate. Now I realise that I've been searching for the impossible. It's the products of collaboration between the TL and the teachers that form the curriculum - it's not something that can be bought online or from a bookstore. It's the planning that meets the needs of the learner that is the basis for what needs to be taught in the library. Is this worm a bit slow or what?
