Narrowing the list and searching more.

These are the articles I want to examine more closely when focusing on elementary ILI.  If they are what I want, I will use the search terms from these to find similar articles.  I'll also use the terms in the ALA research agenda to help, maybe searching these combinations:

elementary information literacy instruction
"elementary school" information literacy instruction (or "primary school")
children information literacy instruction

and then narrowing with terms like learners, teaching, pedagogy, evaluation, assessment, learning styles, skills, design, implementation, methods, learning outcomes.

I need to check this one to make sure it is truly peer-reviewed.  Although I searched only for peer-reviewed articles, I have a feeling this one might have snuck past.

 

Andrew K. Shenton, Naomi V. Hay-Gibson, (2011) "Modelling the information-seeking behaviour of children and young people: Inspiration from beyond LIS", Aslib Proceedings, Vol. 63 Iss: 1, pp.57 - 75

Based on the abstract, I think  this might have more to do with the theory behind instruction or HOW kids search for information than with actual instruction itself (although obviously the theory has implications for instruction).

cognitive and metacognitive issues, Computers in Human Behavior, Volume 24, Issue 3,

This article examines five studies focused on supporting people in searching, so 

perhaps one will focus on elementary-aged students.

Asselin, M. , & Moayeri, M.  (2011). The participatory classroom: Web 2.0 in the 

classroom. Australian Journal of Language & Literacy, 34(2), 45. 

This probably focuses on older students, but I'd like to check anyhow.

Scheibe, C. L. (2004). A deeper sense of literacy. American Behavioral Scientist,   

48(1), 60-60-68. doi:10.1177/0002764204267251  

This article may focus too much on other content areas than on ILI.

Hundley, H. L. (2004). A college 
professor teaches a fourth-grade media literacy unit on television 
commercials: Lessons learned by the students -- and by the teacher. American 

Behavioral Scientist, 48(1), 84-84-91. doi:10.1177/0002764204267253

This should be spot-on.

I also need to look at this to see if elementary settings are specifically addressed.

Kirkland, A. (2011). Nurturing Our Digital Literacy. School Libraries in Canada (Online), 29(1), p. 28-31. Retrieved from Library Lit & Inf Full Text database

Check for elementary focus.

So it seems that, even when I find articles, they may focus on all schools and I might need to see if, within those articles, elementary schools are specifically addressed in a section or as separate from secondary schools.
