Abstract
As more and more educators face the impact of Web 2.0, and as we see emerging what could be called a Learning 2.0 environment, it becomes urgent to extend teaching to meet the literacy and learning needs of the Net Generation. These new learners and their expanding literacy needs have major implications for current models of school library programs hich are largely focused on reading promotion and information literacy skills. We join others in recognizing the need to critically question long held tenets of school libraries and to create a new research-based vision that will accord with the current economic and social directions driving educational change. This paper contributes to that process by proposing a ramework for the work of school libraries in new times based on research in new literacies, today's learners, and emerging concepts of knowledge.
