Step by step...

This is an excellent book about research skills for elementary. I would suggest using the Big 6 with upper elementary, but with a little bit of innovation I used the different tools in this book even with my 2nd graders. A great tool for a step by step process of research skills using the computer, powerpoint, etc. A must have for classroom teachers or librarians.
