Abstract:
A Review of: Gavigan, K., Pribesh, S., & Dickinson, G. (2010). Fixed or flexible schedule? Schedule impacts and school library circulation. Library and Information Science Research, 32(2), 131-37. Objective – To determine whether a significant, positive relationship exists between flexible scheduling in elementary school library media centers and per-pupil circulation statistics. Design – Online survey. Setting – Library media centers in public elementary schools in two states of the United States. Subjects – A total of 88 elementary school library media specialists completed the survey. Methods – A 22-question online survey was created using Inquisite software. A link to the survey was sent via e-mail to a 600-person random sample of public school library media specialists whose names were drawn from the memberships of the North Carolina School Library Media Association and the Virginia Educational Media Association, with combined memberships totalling approximately 2,000. A random sample of 600 was chosen to provide a 95% confidence level with a confidence interval of plus or minus three points. The survey included questions about school schedules (flexible, partially flexible, or fixed), collection size, circulation statistics, total student enrolment, school type (elementary, middle, or high), school location (urban, rural, or suburban), percentage of students eligible for free and reduced price lunch, numbers of full-time professional library media specialists employed at the school, access procedures, and library closure information. The survey response rate was 29.3% (176 respondents). Because fixed versus flexible scheduling is an issue that primarily affects elementary schools, the authors further narrowed their subject pool to 88 elementary school respondents. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16.0 statistical software. Correlation analysis, including the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), was used to compare differences in the three scheduling types and to control for other variables (such as location, socioeconomic status, collection size, staffing, days closed, and others) that may affect circulation. Main Results – Of the 88 elementary school responses, 33 (38%) had fixed schedules, 44 (50%) had partially flexible schedules, and 11 (13%) had totally flexible schedules. Fifty-three schools supplied data regarding per-pupil check-out, and the average number of books checked out per student per year was 52, across all types of schools. The number of book check-outs per pupil differed according to schedule type. Students in schools with fixed schedules checked out an average of 51 books per year, those in schools with partially flexible schedules checked out 46 books per year, and those in schools with totally flexible schedules checked out 71 books per year. When the authors adjusted the data for other factors affecting circulation (such as location, socioeconomic status, collection size, staffing, and others), they found that students in schools with fixed schedules checked out 57 books per year, those in schools with partially flexible schedules checked out 68 books per year, and those in schools with totally flexible schedules checked out 102 books per year. The authors concluded that schedule accounts for 21% of variation in the rate of book check-out per pupil. Conclusion – These results suggest that the type of schedule used in elementary school library media centers does have a significant relation to circulation statistics. Specifically, when library media centres employ flexible scheduling, students are likely to check out more books per year on average. Although these results are not generalizable, this study provides much-needed research into the relationship between scheduling and circulation, and establishes a basis for further studies in this area.

Abstract:
Purpose This study aims to explore preservice school librarians’ ability to develop and deliver integrated library lessons under remote teaching and learning conditions. This study will help school library educators identify the preparation required in coursework to effectively implement blended learning practices as well as identify perceived barriers and opportunities for implementing effective remote school library practice. Design/methodology/approach A participatory action research approach was used to explore online teaching strategies in coursework then implement them in K-12 practice. Findings The findings include six criteria selected, developed lessons and the analyzed reflections of the preservice candidates. These discussed findings identify trends in developed online inquiry lessons and suggest considerations for school library educators when scaffolding instruction in preparation coursework. Future planning also explores considerations of access and technology instruction prior to practice. Research limitations/implications The COVID-19 crisis presented a unique challenge ideal for exploration by an educator and candidates in a school librarian preparation program. Using a revised assignment to facilitate a deliberate, authentic experience designed to blend theory and practice (Grossman, 2011), the evidence presented in the sample lessons and participant reflections documents that candidates are able to develop online learning and articulate the American Association of School Librarians Learner Competencies through work samples. According to this brief exploration, this preparation program was able to adapt the requirements of the assignment and prepare candidates to develop quality instructional lessons when online teaching pedagogy was embedded along with scaffolded instruction on collaborative teaching and instructional design. The limitation to this study is that the COVID crisis was accepted as the problem in the participatory action research model. Practical implications When provided instruction on embedded librarianship models and pedagogy practices of online instruction and scaffolded instruction, school library candidates successfully integrated online K-12 instruction. These instructional supports provided the integration of theory and practice necessary for effective preparation. Additional challenges remain to include considerations of access and student motivation which should be addressed in preparation coursework. Originality/value Never before have we seen all schools closed and instruction moved online without warning. School library preparation programs must look anew at how well they are preparing school librarians for practice across a variety of circumstances. This study looks at the preparation for online instruction K-12 schools were faced with in Spring 2020.

Abstract:
This study traces many of the highlights which occurred during the first decade of the history of the School Library Association in Canberra and District (SLACAD). The roots of this association lie deep in the history of school libraries and teacherlibrarianship in Australia. Many SLACAD members belonged to other state school library associations and to the Australian School Library Association (ASLA) confederation since the establishment of these associations in the 1960's. These teacher-librarians have been dedicated in their attempts to further the cause of school libraries and their teacher-librarianship profession. The decade covered by this study embraces the greatest period of expansion in the development of school libraries seen in Australian history. During this decade the A.C.T. established an independent education system and it took many years for the A.C.T. Schools Authority administration to finalise its organisation. SLACAD members were anxious that school libraries in the A.C.T. should keep pace with school libraries in other Australian states and this study documents the constant efforts of its members to obtain improvements in school librarianship. Teacher-librarians in the A.C.T. have continued to maintain a close liaison with ASLA and many A.C.T. teacher-librarians have held executive office in ASLA. SLACAD has hosted seminars and conferences and this study documents numerous submissions and reports which were a necessary feature of the expanding A.C.T. school library association milieu.

The purpose of this study was to explore the association between the locations of Taiwanese vocational senior high school libraries in campuses and library usage. The analysis included the following research variables: campus facilities surrounding every library and their distribution, school population, school enrollment, number of patrons served per library faculty, number of library holdings per capita, growth rate of library holdings, and average borrowing rate. The valid objects of this study were 129 Taiwanese vocational senior high schools. The research variables were library statistics and the facilities surrounding every library. Library statistics were extracted from the Database of High School Libraries collected by Ministry of Education, and the reference period ran throughout the 2016/17 academic year. As for the facilities surrounding the libraries, they were determined and then categorized though the interpretation of campus facility maps. The maps were open information taken from the official website of each school. The method of analysis in this study was association rules mining of educational data mining with hybrid-dimensional, quantitative and constraint-based features. HotSpot algorithm in the open source data mining tool Weka was the analysis tool for this study. The surrounding facilities were set on the left-hand side, while other research variables were each clustered into high or low group before setting on the right-hand side. The research results were concluded by the indicators with strong associations. The research results were concluded as fellows. First, the three most common campus facilities surrounding school libraries were "passageway", "subject-based classroom", and "regular classroom", while the two least common facilities were "campus living area" and "other facilities". Second, there were strong associations between the libraries located near "campus living area" or "campus landscape" and the low-scored group of school population, while the libraries near “other facilities” and the high-scored group of school population were strongly associated. Third, there were strong associations between libraries located near "campus landscape", "campus living area", or "passageway" and the high-scored group of enrollment, while the libraries near other facilities, “regular classroom”, or “teaching faculty office” and the low-scored group of enrollment were strongly associated. Fourth, there were strong associations between the libraries located near "campus landscape" or "subject-based classroom" and fewer patrons served per library faculty, while the libraries near "regular classroom" and more patrons served per library faculty was strongly associated. Fifth, there were strong associations between the libraries located near "physical activities facility", "campus landscape", or “other facilities” and a higher number of library holdings per capita, while the libraries near “campus boundary”, “campus living area” or “regular classroom” and a lower number of library holdings per capita were strongly associated. Sixth, there were strong associations between the libraries located near "campus entrance gate", "passageway", "administrative service area", or "teaching faculty office" and a higher growth rate of library holdings, while the libraries near “regular classroom”, “campus living area” or “other facilities” and a lower growth rate were strongly associated. Seventh, there were strong associations between the libraries located near "teaching faculty office", "physical activities facility", "campus landscape", or "subject-based classroom" and a higher average borrowing rate, while the libraries near “campus living area”, “other facilities”, or “administrative service area” and a lower average borrowing rate were strongly associated. Eighth, in addition to school population, there was a strong association between growth rate of library holdings and average borrowing rate, which was worthy of further research. To sum up, there could be positive associations between vocational high school libraries located near "physical activities facility", "campus landscape" or "subject-based classroom" and library resource or library usage while there could be negative associations when libraries were located near "campus living area" or "other facility". The researcher's recommendations based upon this study include the following: First, the association rules concluded in this study could be considered when planning for new vocational senior high school library building or rearranging school facilities. Second, library holdings in vocational senior high school should be enhanced to improve library usage. Third, library statistics can be used to discover the inadequacies of a library. Fourth, the Database of High School Library should include school codes and more types of library statistics and to improve data accuracy.

Abstract： The impact of information explosion and global competition on modern people grows everyday in knowledge economy society. It has became a critical issue about learning how to use information effectively and to be a lifelong learner. School libraries bridge the gap between library information science and education, and are responsible for integrating information into instruction and fostering lifelong learning skills. The value of school library associations is to promote the professional development of school libraries and to speak out for the librarians. Therefore the relationship between school library associations and school librarianship is very close. All contributions and efforts that school library associations made will exploit the development of library profession more vigorous. The purpose of the study is to compare the operation, national standards, and library professional certificates of school library associations in American and Australian. The research was conducted by historical and comparative analysis. American and Australian national school library associations were chosen as the objects based on IASL’s conference papers published from 2003 to 2006. The results of the research are summarized below: 1. American and Australian national school library associations are active organizations, they did a lot of research and provided school librarians precious information. 2. The cores of American and Australian national school library standard contents are changed from quantity to quality. 3. The American and Australian national school library standards cope with the contemporary educational trends. 4. American and Australian national school library associations has started to draw up information literacy standards since 1990. 5. American and Australian national school library associations are cooperative with other profession or associations to develop standards. 6. American and Australian national school library associations definitely make statements about school librarians who should be multi-roles. 7. American and Australian national school library associations definitely write down school library professionals and supporting staffs’ duties. Based on the conclusion above, six suggestions for Taiwan’s school library association are proposed as follows: 1. Consciously preserving the association’s developmental information, and doing relative research. 2. Commanding the situations of school librarianship development and the school librarians’ concerns, and making useful suggestions to librarians. 3. Drawing up more detailed national school library standards, and revising regularly. 4. Building a set of national information literacy standards for students learning. 5. Planning school library staffs’ categories, and developing professional rating systems. 6. Promoting school library courses for teacher to raise more professional librarians.

Abstract:
For school libraries to sufficiently contribute to better information skills’ development and creation of a culture of lifelong learning among students, they require backing through well articulated policies both at national and individual school level. This study investigated the prevailing status of school libraries in public secondary schools in Nairobi County, Kenya. Using a survey research design, with a response rate of 68% for school principals and 66% for school librarians, this study established that although the majority of the schools had school libraries, these were individual schools’ efforts. There were no government policies on school libraries and most of the schools lacked explicit library policies. Additionally, they had not embraced contemporary trends in technology and the major impediment was lack of financial support. The study concluded that school libraries in Nairobi County were inadequately resourced and supported and recommended that the government of Kenya should come up with national policies that will entrench school libraries in the education system.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to present, analyse, compare and evaluate the current state of digital repositories at universities in the Czech Republic that use a software application for their digital repository. A theoretical part, which introduces the reader into the issue of compilation and operating of digital repositories in the Czech academic context, precedes the practical reserach. The crucial chapter of the practical part are the results of the actual analysis. The results of a supplementary survey of universities that do not run a digital repository with usage of software application and choose a different way of storage and access to their grey literature draw on the results of this analysis. The conclusion of the entire thesis is the outline of future development of the investigated issue and the perspective of further progress of the Czech academic milieu.

This chapter presents a year-long collaboration by two editors, one in Italy and one in Canada, that resulted in 2011 the IFLA Publication No. 148, titled Global Perspectives on School Libraries: Projects and Practices. Supporting the work of the two editors were the members of the Joint Committee of two international school library groups, the School Libraries and Resource Centers Section of the International Association of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA SLRC) and the International Association of School Librarianship (IASL), and the staffs of IFLA Headquarters and of IFLA’s publisher, De Gruyter Saur. The 300-page book included 30 chapters, written by 50 authors from 20 countries across 6 continents. The topics addressed in the book included: school library education and implementation models; promoting literacies through the school library; school libraries for all; expanding the reach of the school library through technology; government initiatives for school library development; and organizations for school library advocacy and development. The whole process—from designing the publication to disseminating it—is described, including some lessons learned along the way, useful for planning joint work of a similar nature. Future steps in the collaboration between the IFLA SLRC Section and IASL collaboration are introduced as well.

Abstract:
Graduate Schools offer supports to enhance and improve the graduate skills development of their postgraduate research community not only in their research but also in preparing them for their future careers. The European University Association Council for Doctoral Education has identified the digitalization of doctoral education as necessary to the future to fully globalize the graduate school offerings. This vision is aligned, for example, to several of the objectives in Dublin City University 2017-2022 Strategic Plan. Online supports go towards the development of DCU as a global university allowing us to attract, and to provide aid to, research students who are studying primarily outside of Ireland. The same structured support also benefits staff who are involved in the life cycle of a research student. Therefore, it is important to assess the needs of our graduate researchers in terms of online supports and to provide them with such tools to ascertain if their needs can/are being met. Hence, this chapter begins this journey by determining what online resources our doctoral community use to move their studies forward and then follows on to measure the value of one resource “DoctoralNet,” which offers comprehensive support to such students. This chapter discusses surveyed material, yielding a positive message that our doctoral education requires such digital resources to meet their (students') educational needs.

International guidelines for school libraries and school librarians exist. However, the role of professional library associations in school librarian education has been largely overlooked. This exploratory study examines the role of professional library associations in Brazil, Honduras, Nepal, and the United States (specifically California) relative to school librarian pre-service education and in-service professional development. The associations are analyzed in light of communities of practice and the contingency theory of socialization. The findings demonstrate how professional library associations provide culturally relevant professional development that melds professional expertise and socialization.

Abstract:
The Biblioteca Malatestiana was founded in 1452 by Malatesta Novello, lord of Cesena. Since then not only its architecture, but also its furniture and manuscripts have been perfectly preserved. Therefore visitors can still admire its manuscripts in their original setting. In order to meet the educational needs of pupils and students for many years we offered special events, including guided tours and laboratories, specifically designed for primary schools, secondary schools and universities. Since 2014 we joined the Associations of Friends of the Malatestiana Library in organizing lectures concerning individual manuscripts, which during the lectures were exposed to the audience. Since 2016 visitors can get an experience of the ordinary maintenance and conservation treatment of manuscripts: once a month from March to June they have the opportunity to look at book and paper conservators at work. Besides, we experimented special guided tours for blind persons, who were allowed to touch the various parts of manuscripts (i.e. the chain, the cover, the two sides of the parchment leaves).

Abstract:
This chapter examines the evolution of information literacy as a distinct concept incorporating critical thinking, and research and communication skills. It describes Duquesne University’s efforts to develop its current information literacy program during a period of rapid technological change and evolving accreditation standards, and briefly addresses the Association of College and Research Libraries’ (ACRL) information literacy research agenda. Duquesne’s librarians and disciplinary faculty have collaborated to introduce information literacy into the curriculum. All freshmen and transfer students receive instruction geared toward establishing baseline competency in computer and information literacy skills. Collaboration among faculty, librarians, and campus computing staff has resulted in improved instruction and adoption of course management software to facilitate management of over a thousand students per semester, as well as sharing of course texts and assignments among instructors in the Schools of Business, Education, and Music, the College of Liberal Arts, and the library.

Abstract:
The aim of the article is to present selected types of printed sources of biographical information, showing that it is contained not only in biographical dictionaries. Various traces of human life can also be found in such publications as: parish books published in print; school management reports; lists of students or university graduates; lists of theses; address books of cities; telephone directories; street lists, publications about real estate owners; shematisms; lists of trade representatives; listings of business owners; industry directory books; activity reports or professional journals issued by organizations, associations or unions; spa guest lists; lists of participants in uprisings; lists of the injured; lists of repressed people; hourglasses, obituaries, mourning records; lists of personal losses from the years of war and occupation; cemetery guides. Selected examples of each of these types of sources show what kind of information they can contain. The second part of the article provides basic tips on how to search for such publications in the rich collections of the Jagiellonian Library, who and where can use the found materials.
