Description
Summary:Although their research agendas may vary widely, school library researchers from around the world share the common goal of conducting studies designed to advance the field of school librarianship. International school library scholars are united in their efforts to prove that quality school library programs can have a significant impact on student achievement in their countries and around the world. This article provides a selective overview of global studies related to school librarianship. These studies are of interest to researchers as well as practicing school librarians who want to incorporate the results from these studies into their library programs. Over a dozen articles related to school library technology studies were published in School Libraries Worldwide from 2010 to 2016. Many of them demonstrated the substantial role that school libraries and school librarians play in technology infrastructure and instruction. A Canadian study by Jennifer Branch-Mueller and Joanne deGroot examined the experiences that school librarians and teachers had after completing a course on Web 2.0 technologies.
