ILSC

The Information Learning School Community.

On reading a number of times.....

Henri, J. (2005). Chapter 2: Understanding the information literate school community. In Henri, J. & Asselin, M. (Eds). The information literate school community 2: Issues of leadership. Available CSU Library Reserve.

... it seems to me that the expectation on the role of the TL is enormous.

Certainly it doesn't seem possible without the support of the school principal.

ALIAs Standards

I recently read, "Australian School Library Association (ASLA) and Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA). (2004).".

And I must say it seems a lot of DECODING is required to see how it can be applied (or how the TL can be informed).

I suspect it will become clear when doing Assignment 2 and the standards are evaluated in depth.

Roles of the TL



This amazing diagram is from Herring, J. E. (2007). Teacher librarians and the school library. In S. Ferguson (Ed.), Libraries in the twenty-first century: Charting new directions in information services. Wagga Wagga, N.S.W.: Centre for Information Studies, Charles Sturt University.

It has really made me think about the various hats the TL can, if they choose, wear in the 21st century.
