Message from the Chair Glenys Williars

I am currently the Chair of the School Libraries Group of the United Kingdom Library Association. I am the County Education Librarian with Library Services for Education, Leicestershire Libraries and Information Service, providing a library service for primary, secondary and special schools in Leicestershire and Leicester City, in the heart of England.

It was at the 63rd IFLA General Conference in Copenhagen, during August 1997, that I was elected as Chair of the Section. Alexandra Papazoglou became the Secretary and we were faced with the responsibility of following in the footsteps of two such indefatigable, energetic and effective workers as Paulette Bernhard and Torny Kjekstad, the previous Chair and Secretary. Alexandra also became the Newsletter editor, another daunting task, taking over from Blanche Woolls with the responsibility of matching her high standards. Alexandra and I would like, on behalf of you all to thank those three people, and all of the committee members, who have worked so hard for the Section. Our Medium Term Programme of goals and actions stems from the excellent work they all did and I hope that I shall be able to carry it forward, with your help.

I should like to welcome the new members of the Standing Committee: Ms Vesna Kranjek Cizmek of Croatia, Ms Dianne Oberg of Canada, Ms Inci Onal of Turkey and Ms Ann Symons of the USA, who is also the President of the American Library Association. We are very proud that a School Librarian has achieved this important position. The new corresponding members I welcome are Ms Virginia Dike of Nigeria, Mr Carlos Cordoba of Argentina and Ms Mary George Chako of India. I look forward to being able to carry out interesting work with you.

The Conference in Copenhagen was not only interesting, but also exciting for the Section as, firstly, the name of the Section was changed; we formally became The Section of School Libraries and Resource Centres. Secondly, we celebrated the 20th Anniversary of the inauguration of the Section and past Chairs came together for a Reception. This was an opportunity for me to meet some of the renowned members of our profession, Frances Laverne Carroll, Virginia Berkeley, Anne M. Galler and Lucille Thomas, and, with them, review past successes, identify current projects and look forward to an interesting and demanding future for school librarianship. The anniversary was recognised by the President, Robert Wedgeworth in his speech at the opening of the Conference. At the closing session he singled out Paulette Bernard for a special word of appreciation, valuing her work and, by association, the work of the Section.

The Conference is the highlight of IFLA's year and the one chance for members from all over the world to come together and discuss issues that are of concern to them and influence the way in which the Section can support their work. It has been fascinating and enlightening for me to hear about the different problems that colleagues everywhere face in school libraries, yet how often the concerns and difficulties are just the same wherever we work. For instance, however wealthy or impoverished the country, school librarians find it hard to get their fair share of the budget and have to fight for sufficient finance to maintain and develop their libraries. However sophisticated the library service provided and experienced and qualified the librarian, effective professional relationships with teachers are sometimes not secured. School libraries are often run by one person who, with all the will in the world, cannot provide the full range of library services they might wish to because there are not enough hours in the day and immediate demands from students rightly come first.

In Copenhagen, the Open Session of the Section brought together experts from Denmark, United Kingdom, Finland, France and Canada, who described projects which support school libraries as a basis for lifelong learning and gave lots of ideas which had a practical application. The workshop theme was the Section's International Research Project 'Principals and school librarians working within an information literate school community'. Research is being undertaken in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Iceland and elsewhere. This is an invaluable study of the importance of the Principal in effective school libraries with students and staff who are information literate. This project continues and it is to be hoped that we shall be hearing about the outcomes in Amsterdam.

During 1997 the Section published a Resource Book for School Libraries and Resource Centres, edited by Paulette Bernard. This is the result of extensive work investigating the available resources, not only books, but also Associations and Listservs, periodicals and resources about information skills and information technology.

The Committee's work will be guided by the Medium Term Programme, which was drafted and approved in Copenhagen.

I should be very happy to hear from anyone who has ideas of work they would like to see IFLA undertake.

Thank you to Newsletter's editor Blanche Woolls

Thank you, Blanche!

Taking it over from Lucille Thomas, Blanche Woolls has been the Editor of the Section's Newsletter from number 21 (Dec. 1991) to number 31 (May 1997). From her institution in Pittsburgh, and with the help of her students, Blanche has done it all, ensuring that it came out twice a year and was sent to all the members of the Section.

She has also been our Liaison officer with the International Association of School Librarianship (IASL) for several years and, in doing so, has promoted both the IFLA Section of School Libraries and IASL in their respective newsletters and conferences.

Now that I have handed over the presidency of the Section to Glenys Willars from the UK, that Alexandra Papazoglou from Greece has begun her term as the new Secretary and Editor of the Newsletter, and that Dianne Oberg from Canada is the new Liaison officer with IASL, I would like to emphasize the work that Blanche has done for us and thank her warmly in the name of all of us. I wish her also all the best in both her new position of Director of the School of Library and Information Science at San Jose State University and her dedication to IASL, as its new Treasurer.

Paulette Bernhard, outgoing President
Section of School Libraries and Resource Centres


Merci Blanche!

Succedant à Lucille Thomas, Blanche Woolls a edité le bulletin de la Section du numero 21 (décembre 1991) au numero 31 (mai 1997). Depuis l'université de Pittsburgh et avec l'aide de ses etudiants, elle s'est occupée de le faire paraître deux fois par an et de l'envoyer a tous les membres de la Section.

Egalement chargée pendant plusieurs années de la liaison avec IASL (International Association of School Librarianship), elle a, a ce titre, travaillé a promouvoir a la fois la Section des bibliothèques scolaires de l'IFLA et IASL dans les publications et congrés respectifs de ces associations.

Comme la presidence de la Section est maintenant passée a Glenys Willars du Royaume-Uni, qu'Alexandra Papazoglou de Grèce vient de commencer son mandat en tant que nouvelle secretaire et éditrice du bulletin, et que Dianne Oberg est la nouvelle personne chargée de la liaison avec IASL, je tiens a souligner le travail que Blanche a accompli pour nous et a l'en remercier chaleureusement, au nom de tous. Je lui transmets ausi mes meilleurs voeux à la fois pour sa nouvelle fonction de directrice de la School of Library and Information Science a l'Université de San José et pour son mandat de tresorière de l'IASL.

Paulette Bernhard, presidente sortante
Section des bibliotheques et centres documentaires scolaires

20th Anniversary of the Section

To celebrate IFLA's Section of School Libraries' 20th Anniversary, the Danish School Library Association organized a reception on Wednesday September 3, 1997. Here is Paulette Bernhard's anniversary speech, which gives some background information on the history of the section.

I am very pleased to welcome you all to this anniversary reception. First of all, I would like to thank Niels Jacobsen, member of the Standing Committee, for organizing it in the office of the Danish School Library Association. As you know, we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Section of School Libraries, which became officially a section in 1977 (in Brussells), but which had existed since 1973 as an ad-hoc committee chaired by Frances Laverne Carroll. The domain of school librarianship has grown dramatically in the last 20 years, and I am inclined to believe that there was some influence coming from this Section. As I mentionied during our Open Session, the terms used for identifying school libraries show today a great variety, expanding the original etymological meaning of the library as a collection of books to one of a collection of media, of resources, of information and of tools for learning. This is one of the reasons that led us to expand the name of the Section to: Section of School Libraries and Resource Centers. I would like to introduce to you some special people tonight, some of whom have especially come for this occasion. Let me first mention the presidents of the Ad-hoc Committee and Section:
- Frances Laverne Carroll 1973-1977 (Ad-hoc Committee)
- Virginia Berkeley 1977-1981
- Ann Irving (excused) 1981-1985
- Anne M. Galler 1985-1989
- Lucille Thomas 1989-1993

In a minute, I will ask them to say a few words about the Section and the memories of their years heading it. But let me also introduce the new StandingCommitte president and secretary: Glenys Willars, from the UK, and Alexandra Papazoglou, from Greece.
And while we are still in the IFLA family, we have the pleasure to have with us Sissel Nilsen, who is representing M. Winston Roberts, coordinator of professional activities.
Now, I have also the great pleasure to welcome M. Ken Haycock, director of the International Association of School Librarianship (IASL), president of the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) and, among many other responsibilities in this area, editor of the journal Emergency Librarians.
Finally, I would like to mention the latest realizations of the Section:
- the publication of our Resourcebook for School Libraries and Resource Centers, launched during this conference;
- the research project conducted by Lyn Hay, James Henri and Dianne Oberg around the theme "Principals and school librarians in an information literate community", a project that has led to a full day workshop during the conference;
- participation in the development of the draft version of the "Manifesto for School Libraries" to be submitted to UNESCO: this document, now in its 3rd draft version, will be discussed during our Section meeting and sent out to other Sections, divisions and Programs in IFLA, as well as to other groups and experts outside IFLA.
After reading you the letter I received from Jean E. Lowrie and mentioning apologies from Ann Irving, who was unable to join us, I will ask the former presidents to say a few words about the Section during their term.
Thank you for being here and enjoy the reception!


J'ai le grand plaisir de vous souhaiter la bienvenue à cette réception d'anniversaire. Je voudrais, en tout premier lieu, remercier Niels Jacobsen, membre du bureau, de l'avoir organisée dans les locaux de son association, la Danish School Library Association.
Comme vous le savez, nous célébrons le 20e anniversaire de la Section des bibliothèques scolaires, laquelle est devenue officiellement une Section en 1977 (à Bruxelles), mais qui existait sous forme de comité ad-hoc dès 1973, sous la présidence de Frances Laverne Carroll.
Le domaine de la bibliothéconomie scolaire a connu une très grande croissance durant les 20 dernières années, et j'incline à croire que le travail de cette Section y a contribué. Ainsi que j'en faisais état au début de notre rencontre publique, les expressions utilisées pour désigner la bibliothèque scolaire sont très variées à l'heure actuelle, élargissant la signification étymologique de collection de livres à celle de collection de média, de ressources, d'information et de moyens d'apprentissage.

C'est d'ailleurs une des raisons qui nous ont amenés à élargir le nom de la Section à celui de: Section des bibliothèques et centres documentaires scolaires.
Permettez-moi, ce soir, de souligner la présence de quelques personnes clés, dont certaines sont venues spécialement pour cette occasion. Tout d'abord, je tiens à mentionner les présidentes du Comité ad-hoc et de la Section:
- Frances Laverne Carroll 1973-1977 (Comité ad-hoc)
- Virginia Berkeley 1977-1981
- Ann Irving (excused) 1981-1985
- Anne M. Galler 1985-1989
- Lucille Thomas 1989-1993
Dans un instant, je vais leur demander de vous adresser quelques mots relatant le souvenir de leurs années de présidence. Mais laissez-moi commencer par vous présenter également les nouvelles présidente et secrétaire du bureau: Glenys Willars, du Royaume-Uni et Alexandra Papazoglou, de Grèce. Et, pendant que nous sommes dans la famille IFLA, je voudrais souligner la présence de Sissel Nilsen qui représente M. Winston Roberts, coordonnateur des activités professionnelles.
Nous avns, en outre, le grand plaisir d'avoir parmi nous M. Ken Haycock, directeur de l'International Association of School Librarianship (IASL), président de l'American Association of School Librarians (AASL) ainsi que, parmi de nombreuses autres responsabilités dans notre domaine, éditeur de la revue Emergency Librarians.
Je voudrais terminer cette présentation par la mention de quelques réalisations récentes de la Section, soit, en particulier:
- la publication de l'ouvrage "Ressources pour les bibliothèques et centres documentaires scolaires", lancé durant cette conférence;
- le projet de recherche mené par Lyn Hay, James Henri et Dianne Oberg autour du thème: "Directeurs d'école et bibliothécaires dans une communauté maîtrisant l'information" - un projet qui a donné lieu à un atelier
d'une journée durant ce congrès; - la participation de la Section à l'élaboration de la version de travail du "Manifeste pour les bibliothèques scolaires" qui doit être soumis à L'UNESCO: ce document, qui en est à sa troisième version, sera discuté durant la réunion du bureau et envoyé aux autres sections, divisions et programmes de l'IFLA, de même qu'à des groupes et experts extérieurs.
Enfin, après vous avoir lu la lettre que j'ai reçue de Jean E. Lowrie et signalé le message d'Anne Irving nous demandant de l'excuser de ne pas avoir pu nous rejoindre, je vais donner la parole aux autres présidentes de la Section, depuis ses débuts.
Merci pour votre présence et bienvenue à la réception!

Medium Term Programme 1998-2001

SCOPE

The Section of School Libraries and Resource Centres concerns itself with the development of school libraries and resource centres world-wide, especially advocacy for their qualified and adequate staffing. It provides an international forum for exchanging ideas, experiences, research results and advocacy.

GOALS and ACTIONS 1998-1999

1. To promote and advocate the role of the school library and resource centre

1.1 Inform about the scope of the section and the new name

1.2 Participate in the development of the UNESCO School Library Manifesto

1.3 Develop a promotion plan for the book entitled "Resource Book for School Libraries and Resource Centres"

1.4. Cover basic issues, such as the promotion of reading, teaching information skills, resourcing the curriculum, responding to diverse learning styles etc..

1.5 Cover specific issues, such as multicultural education, access for people with special needs etc..

1.6. Promote collaboration and partnership between all types of libraries

2. To delineate the role of the school librarian

2.1 Ensure that all information distributed from the section covers staffing issues and explains the role of the school librarian

2.2 Ensure that the publication entitled "School Librarians: Guidelines for Competency Requirements" is well disseminated

3. To assist School Librarians in their professional development

3.2 Promote initial and continuing education for school librarian

4. To promote and disseminate research in the field of school librarianship

4.1 Ensure that research results are made available

4.2 Support the research team on the project "Principals and School Librarians in an Information Literate School Community"

Books for All

Books for All, a project jointly supported by UNESCO and IFLA Children's Libraries Section, has existed since 1973. In the last 24 years, over US $500,000 has been raised to provide more than 50 libraries in the developing world with reading materials for school and public libraries. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Project, the Children's Libraries Standing Committee is celebrating its achievements by re-affirming its mission to continue to provide books and other media for children in Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia and Oceania. The committee proposes to restructure the way the project functions so that it will increase its accountability to IFLA and UNESCO. It also plans to involve broader participation from Standing Committees of Sections which share the concern that the world's children may have greater access to books and the joy of reading. Those sections are Division 3 School Libraries and Resource Centres Section (we are very interested in the project), Multicultural Section, Division 7 Reading Section and Division 8 African, Latin American and Southeast Asia and Oceania Section.

An Advisory Panel is proposed, with representatives from these Sections, chaired by a member of the Children's Libraries Standing Committee. It will meet annually at the IFLA conference to carry out its responsibilities which will be to:

· establish selection criteria to determine which applicants shall be funded;
· consider applications and allocate funds to approved applicants;
· monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of funded projects.

The Section of School Libraries and Resource Centres will, of course, give the Project its full support.

IASL News

Celebration and Renewal: IASL today

Dianne Oberg
IASL Vice-President, Association Relations
IASL Liaison to IFLA
Member of School Libraries and Resource Centers Standing Committee

In the past two years, the International Association of School Librarianship (IASL) has commemorated its roots in an international meeting held 30 years ago and celebrated its 25th anniversary as an association. The meeting that was a prelude to the formation of IASL was held in Vancouver, Canada in 1967 under the auspices of the WOTPC, the World Conference of Organizations of the Teaching Profession. An steering committee was established to bring an international school library association into being: Gavin Semple (Australia), Sheila Wood (England), J. W. S. Oluoch (Kenya), Maximo Rejalago (Paraguay), F. R. Bhupalan (Malaysia), and Jean E. Lowrie, chair (USA). IASL was brought into being in 1971 in Jamaica.

In the past two years, IASL has used these anniversaries, not only as occasions for celebration of accomplishments, but also as opportunities for reviewing its goals and for refocusing its activities. The structure of IASL have been revised in order to: (1) increase the efficiency of IASL administration and increase participation in decision making, and (2) separate internal IASL issues from professional issues and establish a structure to accommodate specific professional interests of members. The first has involved replacing the single vice-president with 3 vice-presidents, each with a specific role and establishing a new advisory role for the 9 Regional Directors. The second has involved establishing Committees to deal with issues internal to the organization, such as Publications and Nominations, and setting up Special Interest Groups or SIGs as forums for members to share their interests and carry out activities.

IASL holds annual conferences around the world. We will meet in Israel in July 1998 and in the USA in 1999. At each conference, there are sessions related to research and to professional practice. An integral part of every conference is the Assembly of Associations which offers individuals as well as association representatives the opportunity to report and discuss progress and concerns.

Awards and grants are offered by IASL to further its objectives. Some of these are outlined here. The IASL/SIRS Commendation Award is given to an innovative project, publication or program. This year the award went to two projects: the Teacher-Librarianship Strand of the ITEC Virtual Conference, submitted by Lyn Hay and James Henri and endorsed by the Australian School Library Association of New South Wales, and the Teaching Information Skills CD-ROM, submitted by Paul Lupton and Lyn Rushby and endorsed by the Australian School Library Association. IASL assists individuals in leadership positions in developing nations to attend their first IASL conference with the $1000 Jean Lowrie Leadership Development Grant. This year there were two recipients: Geetha Yapa from Sri Lanka and Dr. Iveta Gudakovska from Latvia. Dr. Gudakovska also was awarded the Takeshi Murofushi Research Award for her research project, Students' and teachers' needs for information and the role of school libraries in providing them with it. IASL participates in the UNESCO Project 554 - Books for Children and this year provided a grant of $1000 to Scoala Generala, Nr. Sfinto Gheorgehe, Romania.

Proceedings have been published for every IASL conference since 1972. These and other publications are available from the IASL distributor, LMC Source. The IASL Newsletter is published 4 times a year and the IASL journal, School Libraries Worldwide, is published twice a year. Members can join the listserv, IASL-LINK, and the IASL Homepage on the World Wide Web provides a wealth of current and useful information.

My involvement in IASL goes back to the 1982 conference in Red Deer, a small city close to where I live in Canada. Since then, I have attended many IASL conferences and have served the organization in several capacities. My involvement in IFLA is a very new one. I know I have lots to learn about IFLA and the Section of School Libraries and Resource Centers, but I enjoyed the conference in Copenhagen and am looking forward already to meeting with the members of the Section in Amsterdam.
