In the digital era, quick access to information can cause students to make decisions or form opinions too hastily without properly analyzing or verifying facts. School libraries and librarians aim to teach students these critical thinking skills so they can assess information objectively, even if it contradicts their preexisting views. Following guidelines like IFLA's on identifying fake news can help libraries work with students to develop investigative abilities to find the truth.

The document discusses the changing role of school libraries and librarians in the digital age. It begins by sharing the author's personal experiences with school libraries over time. Technological advances have significantly impacted how library services are planned and implemented. While traditional literacy skills remain important, 21st century skills like critical thinking, collaboration, and adaptability are also necessary. The five laws of library science from 1920 provide enduring principles, but libraries now deal with more than just books and must adapt to serving digital native students.

Higly Engaging e-Book Experiences
HEBE aims to develop novel interfaces for interactive e-books for children by involving children in the design process. The project wants to make e-reading a fun experience for children of different ages. Existing e-book models designed for adults may not be suitable for children. HEBE will explore platforms like e-readers, smart tables and phones to create immersive e-book experiences that can supplement physical books for children. User studies with children will help evaluate different designs and devices to identify engaging e-book models for different age groups.
The value of libraries in college education
The document discusses how libraries fit into today's globalized, knowledge-based society. It argues that libraries have evolved from primarily housing physical collections to facilitating lifelong learning and access to knowledge. The author urges students to take full advantage of library resources and services in order to develop critical thinking skills and prepare for an uncertain future that demands continuous learning.
Research part ii (2) it's not your grandmother's library
This document discusses how libraries and librarians have adapted to changing technology over time. While digital natives are skilled at using technology for entertainment, they still need guidance to effectively research and evaluate online information. Librarians play an important role in teaching information literacy skills, which involve finding, assessing, and using information appropriately. Throughout the school, librarians work with teachers to provide students opportunities to practice these skills through independent and graded projects.
School libraries in the 21st century
The document discusses changes in school libraries and the role of librarians in the 21st century. It notes that students are increasingly using digital resources rather than print and that access has replaced ownership as computers and mobile devices have become more powerful and affordable. The role of the librarian is shifting from managing collections to teaching students information literacy skills like locating, analyzing, and evaluating digital information. Research shows that students in schools with strong library programs and librarians learn more and perform better.
21st Century Library
The document presents a vision for the 21st century library at Port Guichon Elementary School. It outlines plans in three key areas: technological development, library function, and librarian role. For technological development, the vision is to provide students access to computers and teach skills for finding, analyzing, and sharing information online. For library function, the goal is to make the library more accessible and a learning environment rather than just a room. For the librarian's role, the librarian will act as a facilitator of learning rather than just an authority figure by collaborating with teachers and engaging with students.

Border towns and spaces of (in)visibility.pdf
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

School library in the digital era
- 1. In digital era, quick access can compromise students' judgment and make them want to make a decision or form an opinion on a subject too quickly. Libraries and librarians have the role of teaching them to analyze information and verify facts, even if somehow, they don't agree with what they read. One way to work this out with students is to follow the IFLA guidelines on "How to spot fake news". Libraries + Librarians Analyse information + Verify facts + Create investigative spirit = The World is a better well-informed place! Self paced learning. Develop 21st century skills. Facilitate inquiry based learning - voice, choice and ownership in teaching and learning. Intellectual place of recreation. Read beyond Check the author Check the date Supporting sources?
