Inquiry into school libraries and teacher librarians in Australian schools http://www.aph.gov.au/house/committee/edt/schoollibraries/hearings.htm see also The Hub I

The previous Chair of the Committee of Inquiry, Sharon Bird, asked for some brief descriptions of successful TL programs, just 4-5 paragraphs, describing a library where programs have been successful, things that work, success stories for student learning, supporting what has been asked for in hearings. ASLA and The Hub will work jointly on this effort.

ASLA National will be providing examples as well as ASLA ACT and the CEO.  This wiki will allow other TLs to add descriptions.  If you would like to create your own page that's fine, we'll adjust the menu.

**CHAIR**—Clearly it is unrealistic to say that a very small school could advocate a full-time teacher librarian. Have you seen examples of where that shared role across a number of schools actually works better because there are some things in place? We are looking for some recommendations. ... **CHAIR**—It is interesting that one of the very well-resourced independent schools that gave evidence to us—you would just salivate—has an online library and their school website has a connection to their online library. Students presume that the library is both physical and online, which I thought was very interesting. ... **CHAIR**—There are some very exciting examples going on. To some extent we are hoping that if you have a case study of what you do and would like to send it to us for our report, I would like the report to paint a bit of a picture [|tinnitus cures] of the new and exciting ways these things are happening. I encourage you to do that. ... **CHAIR**—If you know of an example, like the one you have just given ... send it to us. ... **CHAIR** ...I encourage you to have a look for case studies that may add a real story to the broader comments that the report will make. If you want to have a think about that, it would be good, although I appreciate it that it will be another task on top of busy lives. But if we want the general public to read the report and understand what it is we are talking about then some of those real examples would be very useful. ||
