Global action on school library guidelines

Barbara Schultz-Jones, Dianne Oberg

A good school library is core to teaching children to enjoy reading and to appreciate and assess diverse kinds and sources of information. This book celebrates the new IFLA School Library Guidelines and how they can be put to use around the world. Each chapter describes innovative initiatives for improving school library services, including mission and policy; educational and cultural programmes and services; human resources; digital and print resources; use of technology; promotion and advocacy; evaluation and assessment.
