- W802673164 abstract "This descriptive study concerns the development of boys' secondary schoollibraries in Saudi Arabia into centres for learning in the light of school library mediacentres in developed countries. Saudi Arabia recognises the importance of developingthe learning environment and adopting modern concepts of learning. Teaching the`Library and Research' instruction, the Schools' Net Project and the LearningResource Centres Project are evidence of concern with facilitating learning throughresource-based school libraries.In order to obtain information about the current situation of school libraries,questionnaires were distributed to schools and to administrative area managers. Theoverall response rate was 41.6 and 69.2% respectively. The survey results showed thatschool libraries generally are poor and school librarians neither skilled nor trained.School libraries generally have poor collections, an absence of full-time qualifiedlibrarians, a lack of IT, inadequate educational activities and insufficient funding.They therefore cannot be expected to play a significant role in the educational process.In contrast, the majority of school librarians, school managers and administrative areamanagers reported encouraging attitudes towards modern concepts of learning andschool library media centres.Recommendations for development focus on three areas: the learning environment;the physical infrastructure of the school library and its resources; and the status andposition of school librarians. The necessity of changing the traditional learningapproach into a student-centred approach is stressed. To support such an approach,information skills should be introduced and IT should be considered an importantmethod of accessing information. The role of the school library in the learningprocess also needs to be recognised and school librarians should be seen as animportant part of the educational team. They should have appropriate qualifications inLibrary and Information Science and be able to access in-service training. Finally,school librarians should be involved in formal collaboration with teachers to developan effective learning environment." @default.
