Canberra, December 06: As part of the Professional Pathways Initiative, ALIA has commissioned research to address the specialised needs of school libraries. The research is aimed at delivering a clearly articulated framework of necessary skills for school library staff; to support library and information science (LIS) course development and accreditation; potential micro-credentials for LIS and non-LIS qualified staff; and continuing professional development (CPD) for those working in school libraries.
If you are a teacher librarian, librarian, library technician or library assistant who would be interested in participating in a focus group to inform the research, please contact [email protected]
