CMIS Evaluation

The Twitter feed from the tag #iasl this morning contained a pointer to a site that is hosting video links from the International Association of School Librarianship 2009 Conference.  Currently available on the site are Ross Todd’s presentation Guilded Inquiry meets Web 2.0 and Roberto Pittarello from the University of Padua speaking about Stimulating Creativity and Reading through making books according to Bruno Munari’s Method. More material will be added to the site as the conference progresses.

The ASLA XXI Biennial 2009 Conference Organising Committee invites abstract submissions for presentations at the 2009 Conference.

This Conference aims to bring together professionals from all over Australia and neighbouring countries by providing opportunities to engage, celebrate, debate, and explore the challenges and issues of teacher librarianship and school libraries. The Conference will provide a strong focus on information literacy, and an emphasis on literature and engagement with young adult and children’s authors. It is anticipated that over 300 delegates will attend the event including teacher librarians, library technicians, library officers, teachers, principals and administrators from government, Catholic and independent schools and universities across Australia.

We are now calling for innovative, practical and researched papers in all topics of interest to school library staff, particularly those exploring the Conference strands: engage, explore and celebrate. These strands are designed to engage the diverse range of school library staff, teachers, learners and cultures in our schools; to reflect on current practice; celebrates successes and explore the potential for the future.

Before you prepare your abstract, please visit the “Call for Abstracts” page on the Conference website http://www.asla.org.au/pd/conference/abstracts.htm .

All abstracts must be submitted online. The closing date for abstract submissions is Friday 31 October 2008.

We look forward to your participation.
