Nānā I Ke Kumu - Look to the Source

This project evaluation provides and overview of Nānā I Ke Kumu - Look to the Source, an information literacy project developed in Hawaiʻi to encourage and enable school library users to explore various culturally relevant digital sources and foster inquiry. In recent years, numerous digital collections featuring Native Hawaiian content have been created. While these developments are exciting, as part of ongoing research and practice, we have realized there is a significant disconnect between the resources and potential users. Many students, educators, and community members are not aware of the collections and lack information seeking strategies to access them. Nānā I Ke Kumu was designed and implemented to begin to counter these disconnects and move toward reestablishing clear pathways to literacy and information seeking.
