Post date: May 17, 2010 7:30:21 AM

A combination conference -- by the IASL (International Association of School Librarianship) and SLAQ (School Library Association of Queensland).

The theme is: Diversity Challenge Resilience - SCHOOL LIBRARIES IN ACTION

The strands are:-

• • Developing curriculum

  • Delivering excellence through standards

  • Supporting the digital education agenda

  • Building literate communities.

Barb Philip and I will be offering a workshop on "Building internationally literate communities" -- in which we'll be discussing the Red Dot Awards (and the examples of the Panda Awards and the Sakura Medal) -- as well as resources for internationally-minded collection development and tools for highlighting regional literature (e.g., Google Lit Trips).

Note there will be special discussion sessions for IB PYP, MYP and DP librarians, organized by Ingrid Skirrow.
