The training course of information literacy for teachers started in 2012 at Waseda University and has been carried out in August in the last four years. The course titled “Preparing class plans using school library” is a part of courses for renewal of teachers’ certificate. Most of them are subject teachers who aren’t in charge of school library even though a few are teacher librarians. The aim of the course is to identifier the nature of information literacy, to realize some skills, and to apply each skill for their curriculum. We explain some models of information literacy, ex. ISPA model, Big6 model and PLUS model. We provide them a kind of workshop. Supposed students in digital age, we are going to adopt not only materials based on paper but also new technology, for example, Web2.0 for the training course in future.
