In 1970, a Fortune magazine announced the names of top 500 enterprises and their performance in the United States. Ten years later, one third of them disappeared. Due to unprecedented technology progress and increase in competitiveness in last 20 years, so-called learning organization has become the most successful corporation. Hence, the ability to learn faster than your competitors may have become the only sustainable competitive advantage.So far schools have had difficulties to adapt enterprises’ strategy to become ‘learning school’. Using the unique characteristics and resources of a school and its community is a way to create competitive curricula. Moreover, teachers are encouraged to employ information technology (multi-media software tools) to create and edit teaching materials.In the near future, school library will play the important role to help readers to learn how to learn by software and hardware tools. Teacher librarians will set up Information Communication Technology platform, organize some reading club to improve their reading behavior, hold information literacy seed teachers contest to upgrade readers information literacy capability and researching conference.for exchanging experience Meanwhle, developing catalogue and classification standards for digital materials by IEEE’s Draft Standard for Learning Object Metadata.provide informations for their readers from Internet and knowledge database, and learn the trend of fast advance of modern science and technology to make innovative activities.

Competences to be acquired do not concern a specific field in French secondary education, except for the pupils of “lycée” who choose the option information-communication. They are registered in the programs of the courses of teaching. Their evaluation is thus integrated into each field. In addition, since ten years, devices of formation are set up : they move traditional teaching. Their common characteristic is to call upon the search for information and the production of documents by the pupils. Lastly, B2I has been just instituted to validate competences as regards control of information.

The main objective of any curriculum is the relevancy of the content in meeting the curricular and co- curricular short and long term needs of the students so they can function well at their level in the society. The researcher used the content analysis methodology to analyse the content of the Grades 1-6 Ministry of Education Youth and Information (Jamaica) Curricular with the aim of developing a school library cross-curricular. Based on the analyses there was evidence that more information literacy topics were implicitly embedded in the school curriculum guides than media literacy and intercultural dialogue. The AASL Standards for the 21st Century Learner competencies was either sufficiently evident, limited or absent from these school curricular. The cooperative learning teaching strategy, the multiple intelligences theory and the Big6 information problem solving skills were also absent from these curricular. The researcher used the subject areas in addition to the MILID components to develop a cross curricular school library MILID curriculum which will facilitate the collaboration of teacher librarians and teachers in the planning and delivery of the lessons.

Pre-service teacher librarians in the United States often are en route from careers as classroom teachers and view field experiences as needless repetitions of student teaching. Meaningful internships can be pivotal in helping students explore potential roles, build collegial networks, and gain valuable on-the-job insight. For an educator in transition from a single classroom to a manyfaceted school library, field practica can provide crucial opportunities to shift to the organizational, collaborative mindset outlined in Information Power, the U.S. school library guidelines (1998). This paper presents an instrumental case study gathered as part of an ongoing study of practicum experiences.

The today’s school libraries in Hungary trace back to the 18th century. After 1970 the school librarianship became an independent profession and library pedagogy was elaborated as well. Nowadays the Hungarian School Library Association provides the most support. In spite of difficulties Hungarian school librarianship has much strength but needs to be improved in many fields yet. There are well operating libraries, committed teacher librarians and a good legislation. Library instruction is built into curriculum. In 2012 has changed the education policy, which also affected school libraries badly. A way to save the profession is to elaborate the library pedagogy program and declare how libraries can support information literacy and independent learners.

This case study aimed to clarify the role of the teacher-librarian and the nature of the school library program to pre-service teachers. Nineteen pre-service teachers collaboratively planned curriculum with teacher-librarians in their practicum schools. Data consisted of pre- and post-experience concept maps and interviews with all participants. Results showed pre-service teachers (a) significantly increased their knowledge of collaboration, resource-based learning, and information literacy, and (b) learned that collaboration helps refine and extend their teaching ideas. Teacher-librarians identified flexible scheduling and collaborative culture as conditions for curriculum-based library programs. Authentic experiences with teacher-librarians appear to be a promising means of preparing new teachers as partners.

The National Institute of Library and Information Sciences (NILIS), an Institute affiliated with the University of Colombo, in Sri Lanka, was established in 1999, with the main objective of training Sri Lankan school librarians and other library staff, under the World Bank project. Accordingly, in 2002, NILIS commenced Certificate, Diploma, and Post-graduate courses for teacher librarians. Concurrently the Ministry of Education selected and trained 4000 teacher librarians with the assistance of NILIS. The training consisted of short term and long term programs commencing at the certificate level and leading to the post graduate level . Teacher librarians were mainly trained to manage school libraries; while being empowered to teach the subjects in which they specialized in the university, or Information literacy, in order to give them the same status as the other teachers. To date NILIS has trained around 2000 teacher librarians under the different categories. In this study, the number of training sessions conducted, number of teachers trained, and the outcome of the programs are elaborated and discussed. Finally, the performance of the teacher librarians after the completion of the masters in teacher librarianship course conducted by NILIS is critically discussed, using the data collected by the interview method with the random sampling technique. The results show that most of the teacher librarians trained at NILIS are performing school library organization activities at a more satisfactory level than prior to receiving their training. Nevertheless, the teaching of information literacy by the teacher librarians to the school children is not being fulfilled at a satisfactory level. Most of the teacher librarians who have obtained higher professional qualifications at NILIS are unsatisfied due to problems with regard to their promotional schemes. Since 2005, NILIS and other relevant bodies have been striving to resolve the problems of the teacher librarians, but so far their efforts have not been successful.

The training course of information literacy for teachers started in 2012 at Waseda University and has been carried out in August in the last four years. The course titled “Preparing class plans using school library” is a part of courses for renewal of teachers’ certificate. Most of them are subject teachers who aren’t in charge of school library even though a few are teacher librarians. The aim of the course is to identifier the nature of information literacy, to realize some skills, and to apply each skill for their curriculum. We explain some models of information literacy, ex. ISPA model, Big6 model and PLUS model. We provide them a kind of workshop. Supposed students in digital age, we are going to adopt not only materials based on paper but also new technology, for example, Web2.0 for the training course in future.

According to the concept of ‘Public Library at School’, secondary schools and public libraries in the Netherlands are working on a structural cooperation. They collaborate at strategic, tactical and operating level to improve language skills, reading motivation and information literacy of students. This paper describes the experiences of the collaboration between several pre-vocational secondary schools and public libraries during the period of 2012 – 2015. Especially, the force of the collaboration of all the parties involved, is shown at all the components of the concept ‘Public library at school’. In all the example-schools it is shown that collaboration pays off. There are results on the management, employee and student level. The most important improvements are: students read more, students visit the (school) library more often, reading is more and more seen as ‘a normal thing to do’ and reading attitudes of students are improved.
