Information literacy is a critical 21st-century skill, yet young readers rarely have opportunities to consider where information comes from. In this Teaching Tip, the authors use author’s notes in nonfiction storybooks to promote student awareness of authorship. The author’s visibility in author’s notes varies along a continuum from invisible (authors discussing the subject of the text using third-person pronouns) to visible (authors describing a personal relationship to the text). Using information literacy tenets to focus on how narrative nonfiction is created, this article highlights two specific examples of author’s notes, as well as pragmatic questions related to various levels of author visibility for teachers to ask as they support their students’ developing information literacy.

信息从何而来？：紧急信息素养作者笔记中的可见性

信息素养是 21 世纪的一项关键技能，但年轻读者很少有机会考虑信息的来源。在这个教学技巧中，作者在非小说类故事书中使用作者的笔记来提高学生对作者身份的认识。作者在作者笔记中的可见性在从不可见（作者使用第三人称代词讨论文本主题）到可见（作者描述与文本的个人关系）之间变化。本文使用信息素养原则来关注叙事非小说是如何创作的，重点介绍了作者笔记的两个具体示例，以及与不同作者可见度水平相关的实用问题，供教师在支持学生发展信息素养时提出。
