Reviews
'Linking Literacy and Libraries in Global Communities offers a good mix of research findings and international case studies on the key aspects of modern school librarianship, including literacy and life skills, learning communities and information and media literacy, digital technology and social media. It is interesting for the professional school librarian, teacher and decision maker in schools but is also important for grassroots readers in this field. A must read for everyone interested in the range of function, responsibilities and tasks of the 21st century school library and a valuable addition to the existing literature.' Lourense Das, Adviser and Trainer, Vice-President of the International Association of School Librarianship and Coordinator Stichting ENSIL 'This book, blending authoritative research results with applicable international case studies is a useful resource for teachers, librarians and administrators in the field and for students aiming for careers in these areas. It is a positive and inspiring contribution to the promotion of the value of libraries in building globally literate communities.' Australian Library Journal 'The book would most interest those interested in global issues facing community libraries and those interested in the broad issues in promotion of literacy through community responsiveness of library collections and programs.' Australian Academic and Research Libraries
