This Quebec school librarian introduces a continuum of information skills for Quebec school libraries, published February 2021, thanks to a grant from the Quebec Ministry of Education. This represents a major achievement for the the School Library Information Literacy Committee, the Association for the Promotion of School Documentary Services (APSDS) and for Quebec school librarianship as a whole. The author shares the background and understanding of the continuum founded on planning, searching, using and analyzing.
