Bonanno (2015) has clearly outlined the Australian Curriculum content descriptors, general capabilities and suggested the introduction of inquiry skills for F-10 in the curriculum areas of History, Geography, Science, Civics & Citizenship, Economics & Business, Design & Technology and Digital Technology, in an easy to read table format.  Included in the reading is the core skills and tools of the Guided Inquiry Design Framework with suggested web tools to assist implementation.  The progression of implementation of a school based approach to information literacy is evident in all areas.

When there is an information literacy model in place in a school, students would develop and build their inquiry skills to the point that the process becomes natural and transfers across curriculum areas.  Unfortunately, not all students are experiencing this progression.  Assignments tend to be topic based with little range of choice.  When the student identifies the problem or question that they want to answer on the topic they would be more deeply engaged in their learning.  However, if method of information literacy is only deployed sporadically across year levels and departments the process would be daunting, for both the teachers and the students.
