School libraries and teacher-librarians: evidence of their contribution to student literacy and learning

She has contributed to several recently completed research projects and is currently a Chief Investigator for an ARC Linkage project entitled ‘Fostering digital participation through living labs in regional and rural Australian communities’. International research provides compelling evidence that school libraries and teacher-librarians make a significant contribution to student literacy and learning outcomes. After summarising previous research, this article presents recent research focused on Gold Coast schools. These new Australian findings present an evidenced based snapshot of school libraries and teacher-librarians, from the principals’ perspective.

It talks about how to teach learners to build solid research skills for school and for life. How do we help our learners develop research skills that will serve them practically in school and life? Having this set of information location and management abilities in any digital-age survival kit applies equally to students, teachers, and everyday people. In the classroom, we teach it using the process of Information Fluency. We define this as the ability to unconsciously and intuitively interpret information in all forms and formats. 5 Steps to Build Solid Research Skills There are five distinct stages to Information Fluency, which we call the 5As: Ask—Asking involves fully understanding the problem being solved, identifying key words, and then forming questions around them.
