Reviews:
-Because of their interaction with the entire school community and knowledge of information technologies, librarians are in a unique position to shape educational innovation. The international contributors to this volume argue that in order for librarians to emerge as leaders in the educational community, it is essential that careful attention be paid to current issues. Essay topics include new learners, new and multi-literacies, and teaching as a political activity. —School Library Journal Curriculum Connections
-This book is a compilation of 16 brief but poignant essays, each written by a different world-renowned teacher librarian or library educator, that discuss the relationship between the teacher librarian and the Information Literate School Community (ILSC)....Learing today goes beyond four walls, allowing students to define a significant dimension of information literacy and enabling them to personalize and reshape curriculum based on changes in culture....This resource will benefit any teacher libarian as they prepare for the future of education. Recommended. —Library Media Connection
