Focusing on the future utility of education, Angela Kohnen and Wendy Saul advocate for a comprehensive approach to information literacy that emphasizes enduring skills rather than transient techniques.

Vital Connections is an outgrowth of a symposium sponsored by the Children's Literature Center of the Library of Congress to highlight issues surrounding the use of science trade books in classrooms and libraries.

All the essential players are here: editors, educators, literature and science specialists, as well as well-known children's authors like Jean Craighead George, Patricia Lauber, and Seymour Simon.
