"This volume of essays from teacher librarians and library educators around the world addresses the issues teacher librarians must face to become leaders in the Information Literate School Community (ILSC). To establish a framework for views expressed by the authors, the editors have identified four major developments shaping current thought and practice in teaching and learning: new learners, new literacies and multiliteracies, new and multiple identities and communities, and teaching as a political activity. The issues facing teacher librarians as potential school leaders are embedded in these contexts within the essays." "This book will be of interest to the many players and stakeholders who work in and/or conceptualize about modern schools, including principals, teachers, teacher librarians, information technology coordinators, and educators of teachers and teacher librarians, as well as educational policy makers and parents."--BOOK JACKET.
