"Resource based learning is a
methodology that allows students to learn from their own
confrontation with information resources. Such active
learning provides a means by which teachers are able to
tailor information resources, learning activities, the
location of those activities and expected learning outcomes
to the needs and abilities of each child."

Association and Australian Library and Information
