Abstract

School library advocacy is a concern worldwide. Getting school libraries on the agenda for consideration by a school staff, or a ministry of education, or a library association is often a challenge. This paper describes the process being undertaken by two international school library groups to develop school library advocacy training materials which will be freely shared through the Online Learning Platform of the International Association of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA). The two-year project, entitled School Libraries on the Agenda, is funded by IFLA and is being managed by the Joint Committee of the International Association of School Librarianship (IASL) and the School Libraries Section of IFLA. The final project will include a variety of materials: a trainer’s manual, workshop plans, case studies, and video clips.
