Connections: Linking learning, leadership, technology, information, and society through school libraries (Volume 18, Number 1, January 2012)
This issue of School Libraries Worldwide will center on the theme of Connections: School librarians linking learning, leadership, technology, and society. As Malcolm Gladwell wrote in his influential book The Tipping Point (2001), ?Connectors are the people who ?link us up with the world ? people with a special gift for bringing the world together? (pp. 38, 41). For this issue, we use this definition as our point of departure in considering the many connecting roles of school libraries and librarians. We encourage papers that both affirm and extend this initial definition.
This issue will provide an opportunity for researchers to share their work relating to connections and connectors in school libraries.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
School librarians as agents who link home and school;
School libraries as places where children build connections between learning and their roles in society;
School librarians as ambassadors of broadband Internet and mobile devices;
School librarians as promoters of transliteracy in context;
School librarians as connectors across cultural, social, professional and ethnic boundaries;
The interplay between school libraries and digital libraries or virtual learning environments.
School library researchers are invited to submit papers reporting their own original research that has not been published elsewhere. Authors who wish to know more about the issue theme should contact the editors to discuss revision.
School Libraries Worldwide also welcomes submissions of excellent research on any topic relating to school librarianship for the open portion of the journal.
Deadline for submissions of full papers: 20 September 2011.
Authors interested in contributing to this issue should contact the editors, Marcia Mardis and Nancy Everhart at [email protected]
