- W289556055 abstract "This is my farewell issue, my final issue, as Editor of School Libraries Worldwide. I begin by welcoming most enthusiastically the two new Editors, Dr. Marcia Mardis and Dr. Nancy Everhart, both faculty members at the Florida State University's College of Information. Both Dr. Mardis and Dr. Everhart are familiar to SLW readers, and, coincidentally, each had an article published in the last hard copy issue of the journal, four years ago, in July 2006. I am confident that, under their leadership, School Libraries Worldwide will go places that I could never have taken the journal, and I look forward to seeing their new directions unfold for the journal and its readers. The theme for this issue, Issues for the Next Decade, is examined through six articles exploring research topics categorized by Jarvelin and Vakkari (1990) and expanded by Clyde (2002) to accommodate the special research concerns of school librarianship: Information technology; Library and information service activities; Reading and reading promotion; and Other aspects of LIS (legislation and policy). From an issues perspective, these articles explore our need as information professionals to adapt to and shape the changes in the world and to respect the different world-views and world-situations of our students and our colleagues. Information technology: New and emerging technologies are changing the world of the school library and the work of the school librarian. School librarians face the daunting challenge of keeping abreast of new technologies and keeping in tune with the ways young people are using these technologies in their out-of-school lives. Teddy Moline from Edmonton, Canada examined in her doctoral research, the learning experiences of adolescents as they played recreational video games of their choice in their homes. In her article, Moline challenges school librarians to understand the world of the videogamers, to respect the ability of the videogamers to learn in informal learning situations, and to help these young people to transfer their learnings to inquiry-based activities in the school world. Library and information service activities: Two articles in this issue examine the process of collaboration, a key activity of school librarians and one that continues to present challenges for many school librarians. Kirsty Williamson, Alyson Archibald and Joy McGregor, in a study sponsored by the Australian Research Council, raise questions about the factors that can explain successful collaboration. Their three-phase study, designed to help students learn to avoid plagiarism, gave rise to some interesting and potentially very useful findings about collaboration between teachers and teacher librarians. Although the original research purpose was not to investigate collaboration, the existence of strong collaborations appeared to have determined the success of the entire project. The data analysis revealed some of the necessary prerequisites for successful collaborations that have been found by other researchers: school culture, attributes of collaborators, communication, management, and motivation. However, an underlying factor that emerged from the analysis was shared concern. Williamson, Archibald and McGregor suggest that the likelihood of success with collaborations may be deeply influenced by the participants' level of shared concern for the topic under consideration. Patricia Montiel-Overall, from the United States, used a case study approach to examine the collaborative efforts between teachers, university faculty members, and librarians from diverse areas of expertise (collaboration, science information literacy, and Latino language and culture). The participants in the study worked together to design professional development workshops for a group of elementary school teachers and librarians. Again, the data analysis revealed some of the prerequisites for successful collaboration found by other researchers: knowledge sharing, relationship building, and environmental factors. …" @default.
