Current Call for Papers
Policy: Empowering School Libraries
The theme for the next issue of School Libraries Worldwide, "Policy: Empowering School Libraries," was also the theme for the Open Session of the IFLA Section of School Libraries and Resource Centres at the IFLA World Library and Information Congress, held in Oslo in August 2005. This shared initiative is one of many that resulted from the leadership of Anne Clyde (Chair, IFLA Section of School Libraries and Resource Centres, now deceased). All types of policy, at all levels from national school library policy to policies of the individual school library, are relevant to this theme. Also welcome are discussions of policies in other fields, for example, education policy, employment policy, equal opportunity policy, or information policy, as they apply to school libraries. Possible topics include (but are not limited to) policy formulation, the influence or impact of policy, comparisons of policies, the role of the school librarian in policy development, different types of policies, and the potential of policies to improve school library services. Research-based papers, in particular, are welcomed. It was Anne´s aim to include papers from as many countries as possible and, as well, to continue to cement the positive relationships between IASL and the IFLA Section of School Libraries and esource Centres. The authors who presented papers at the 2005 Open Session of the IFLA Section of School Libraries and Resource Centres will be invited to submit their papers for review. Other authors interested in contributing to this issue should contact Dianne Oberg at doberg@ualberta.ca.
