The document discusses the role of the library and librarian in supporting student learning outcomes. It suggests that librarians should collaborate with teachers to incorporate information literacy skills into the curriculum through guided inquiry projects. This requires flexible timetabling to allow for collaboration between teachers and librarians. Research shows that students benefit academically when teachers make use of the school library and partner with librarians in teaching literacy and research skills.

This is what the Standards say

4. What I wanted to bring to the table?
• Should nice librarians just read stories?
• What about collaboration?
• What about learning outcomes?
• Should teachers participate in library?
• How should Library/DL link with the
curriculum?
• What about IT?
• How does this affect timetabling?

5. • Information Literacy is not just defined as
Literacy skills but as a set of skills a person
needs to read, write, and to develop the
capacities to understand, absorb, assimilate,
and digest the images being transmitted
electronically with the added capacity to
communicate these images electrographically
(Ross Tweed & Bailey as cited by Langford,
1994, p. 26).

6. What does this mean?

7. What is transliteracy?
• If the transliteracy means to access a variety
of media simultaneously, it seems to me that
transliteracy also relates to how people use
these skills to cope in their daily lives. These
skills could be different for many people due
to different nationalities, socio economic
backgrounds, interests, occupations, ages,
interests and needs.

8. • Why Digital Fluency?
Sipling says there are three main forms of
assessment: diagnostic, formative and
summative. (Stripling, 2007)
It seems the education community generally agrees that
information literacy links to life- long learning and this is a
good thing. The real challenges seem not the information
process itself but how we adapt with technology and how
our needs are met real life situations (Eisenberg, 2008, p.
41).

9. So what can a Librarian do?
• Highly Effective School Librarians Cultivate 21st
Learners.

11. • Should nice librarians just read stories?
• What about collaboration?
Students benefit from the skills of both teachers, or a team of teachers, incorporating subject
knowledge and skills expertise. Expertise is maximized (Kuhlthau & Maniotes, 2010, p. 21).
• What about learning outcomes?
Hay says that there is the implicit assumption that by virtue of actions, outcomes happen, I would
have to agree. (Hay, L., and Todd, R., 2010) Must match and measure learning outcomes.
• Should teachers participate in library?
One of the main findings from the 1996 Australian National school English literacy survey was
“students in schools where Teachers make greater use of the school library with their Classes
tend to have higher levels of literacy achievement” ( Dept. of Employment, Education, Training
and Youth Affair, 1997). There is a lot of evidence to support that teacher Librarians do make a
difference
• How should Literacy link with the curriculum? What about IT?
DL embedded in Literacy curriculum, planned collaboration into Guided Inquiry
• How does this affect timetabling?
Flexible, rotated, collaborative meetings and links with curriculum
