Ny internasjonal bok om skolebibliotek

Boka heter Global Perspectives on School Libraries: Projects and Practices. Den er redigert av Luisa Marquardt og Dianne Oberg og utgitt av De Gruyter Saur, in 2011 (IFLA Publications; Nr 148 / ISBN 978-3-11-023220-2). Om boka:
"Education for all can be more effectively provided through the services, programmes and activities of the school library tailored to the needs of the school community. This inspiring book can foster the school librarian's professional development for school library enhancement. It aims at providing amazing topics, methodologies, approaches and experiences. It presents projects and practices addressing the challenges of supporting basic literacy, including contexts where many children cannot or do not access formal instruction on a regular basis. These may inspire education authorities, public librarians and other cultural professionals who work closely with schools and communities". Blant bidragene er Siri Ingvaldsen om Program for skolebibliotekutvikling og Randi Lundvall om IFLA Section for School Libraries and Resource Centers.
