School Libraries and Resource Centers Section

The Section invites case studies on the theme of student use of new technologies in School Libraries. The Papers should reflect projects already in progress or completed that show how new technologies can be used in School Libraries for the benefit of students. Papers on the training of School Libraries in the use of new technologies are also welcomed. This is an expansion of the eLearning theme of the Satellite Conference with IASL in Jamaica.

These Papers will demonstrate innovations and show how they are integrated into the delivery of information and information skills to school students.

Papers can be written and given in any of the official IFLA languages: English, French, German, Russian, Spanish.  However, abstracts should be submitted in English.

Proposals for Case Study Papers must include the following and must be in English:

1. Title of proposed presentation
2. Outline of the proposed presentation (no more than 300 words)
3. Name(s) of presenter(s)
4. Position or title of presenter(s)
5. Presenter(s) employer or affiliated institution
6. E-mail address
7. Telephone/fax numbers
8. Short biographical statement regarding the presenter/s

15 minutes will be allowed for a summary delivery of the paper in the Conference (followed by 5 minute discussion)s;
the full written paper is not to be read.
