School libraries 21C, a moderated discussion blog hosted by School Libraries and Information Literacy Unit at http://www.curriculumsupport.education.nsw.gov.au/schoollibraries/index.htm is now live. Direct link to the discussion blog is http://schoollibraries21c.edublogs.org/

You’ll find the suggested background reading, and a document to assist you in using the blog and holding focus groups for combined responses at both these links.

We look forward to a diverse range of perspectives, and working towards a common vision. Dr Ross Todd and Lyn Hay, Lecturer in Teacher Librarianship at Charles Sturt University, will guide the discussion.

Enjoy the discussion. We welcome submissions from individuals, and groups such as school, team or professional network focus groups posting combined responses to aspects of the discussion. When posting responses, please indicate your sector, type of school, and
nature of the group if a group response (eg Executive, Principals in a Region, teacher librarian network).

For further information and assistance, please contact Colleen Foley mailto:Colleen.Foley@nsw.edu.au
