Global Action on School Library Education and Training

[Darryl Toerien Keymaster]

I have received and will be reviewing Global Action on School Library Education and Training (Schultz-Jones & Oberg, 2018) for the International Journal of Information, Diversity, & Inclusion. This is number 178 in the IFLA Publications series.

Schultz-Jones, B. A., & Oberg, D. (Eds.). (2018). Global Action on School Library Education and Training. Berlin: De Gruyter Saur.

I volunteered to review this book because the issue of school library education and training has already been raised – Teachers and Librarians Working Collaboratively: New Models of Professionalism – and needs further discussion and action. I will share my thoughts, and my review if possible, on the Forum.

My review of Global Action on School Library Education and Training has now been published and can be downloaded from here.

In my opinion the logic of the review as it was originally written has suffered somewhat from the editorial process.

Two very interesting topics in the Forum relating relating to school library education and training, both of which I will soon be updating, are Focus on Inquiry (started by Jennifer Branch-Mueller) and Academic school librarians (started by Blanche Woolls).
