She wrote that its traditional purpose hadn\u2019t been lost.<\/p>\n<p><em>The College Library has been transformed into a Learning Centre that continues to offer all library services to students and staff, including a significant collection of fiction and non-fiction books, journals, newspapers, magazines and other print resources, as well as online access to other libraries.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This school\u2019s approach isn\u2019t unique. Many schools have\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scholastic.com.au\/assets\/pdfs\/school-libraries-work.pdf\">reconfigured their library spaces<\/a>\u00a0to embrace a model of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scholastic.com.au\/assets\/pdfs\/school-libraries-work.pdf\">integrating library services<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 where traditional library resources are combined with technology. Some have installed new technologies in so-called \u201cmaker spaces\u201d. These are where students can be creative, often using technologies such as 3D printers and recording suites.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of today\u2019s libraries isn\u2019t only to maintain the traditional roles of promoting reading, developing information literacy and providing access to a collection of books and other resources. Today\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/education.nsw.gov.au\/teaching-and-learning\/professional-learning\/scan\/past-issues\/vol-37\/school-libraries-matter!\">school libraries<\/a>\u00a0are fundamental to broader digital literacy, information provision and developing critical evaluation of information.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The importance of the library<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>School libraries improve student achievement. A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scottishlibraries.org\/media\/1211\/impact-of-school-libraries-on-learning-2013.pdf\">synthesis of international studies<\/a>\u00a0demonstrates that having a library leads to successful curriculum outcomes, including information literacy and positive attitudes to learning. It also improves academic achievement through higher test or exam scores.<\/p>\n<p>A detailed study of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/ten-ways-teacher-librarians-improve-literacy-in-schools-110026\">30 teacher librarians in Australia<\/a>\u00a0showed they also play a key role in supporting students with special educational needs. They do this by identifying readers and students at risk and working with them to improve both educational and social outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Teacher librarians have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.alia.org.au\/about-alia\/policies-standards-and-guidelines\/standards-professional-excellence-teacher-librarians\">dual educational and librarianship qualifications<\/a>. This means they have knowledge of pedagogy and curriculum combined with library and information management skills.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_47357\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47357\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/digitallibrary.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" class=\"size-full wp-image-47357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/digitallibrary.jpg 680w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/digitallibrary-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-47357\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Today\u2019s students need guidance in interpreting online information. from shutterstock.com<br \/><\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<p>Libraries and library staff have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/palcomms201670\">consistently responded<\/a>\u00a0to the changing needs of society. And library professionals have been at the forefront of embracing technology: from establishing the first computer labs in schools in the 1980s through to working with students and teachers to use new technologies such as 3D printing, robotics, gaming and recording suites in learning and creativity.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Libraries and technology<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>There is a lack of understanding of what librarians can do for a school community and a belief children don\u2019t need help with learning how to use technology. Information can be inaccessible,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/read.alia.org.au\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/the_school_library_workforce_in_australia.pdf\">and misunderstood<\/a>, without proper instruction, guidance and support. This is especially true for students from disadvantaged backgrounds who don\u2019t have good access to the internet at home, or those with learning differences.<\/p>\n<p>As the evidence base for what makes an effective library grows, it\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.softlinkint.com\/downloads\/The_Ongoing_Importance_of_School_Libraries.pdf\">becoming recognised<\/a>\u00a0that<\/p>\n<p><em>the 21st century school library professional is a digital leader, an innovator, a creator, a promoter, a resource and research specialist, a curriculum adviser, and much more.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fair.alia.org.au\/sites\/fair.alia.org.au\/files\/u3\/Great%20Australian%20School%20Libraries%20Impact%20Report.pdf\">Teacher librarians<\/a>\u00a0educate children in the core skills of searching and evaluating information. They also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.softlinkint.com\/downloads\/The_Ongoing_Importance_of_School_Libraries.pdf\">support and empower<\/a>\u00a0students in areas such as digital citizenship. This enables children to fully participate and engage with the complex digital landscape.<\/p>\n<p>As Chelsea Quake, a teacher librarian at a Melbourne public school, told us:<\/p>\n<p><em>Students leave school reading fake news, turning to Instagram for answers to their health questions, and falling flat on their first university paper, because they never truly learnt how to research.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Skills such as information and digital literacy are core requirements for civic participation. Young people have tremendous opportunities to leverage the power of technologies to ensure their voices are heard about issues that will affect them and their children in the future. And they need new and evolved library services to help them get there.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bios:<\/strong> Elizabeth Tait is a Lecturer in Information Management, Huan Vo-Tran is a Lecturer, Business IT and Logistics, Paul Mercieca is a Lecturer, Business IT and Logistics and Sue Reynolds is also a Senior Lecturer, Business IT and Logistics all at RMIT University<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A\u00a0recent article\u00a0about a new approach to a school library sparked vigorous discussion on social media.
