NEW INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL LIBRARY GUIDELINES

Abstract

The publication in 2015 of new international school library guidelines was the culmination of two—year process involving wide network of interna— tional contributors. The process was guided by the Joint Committee of the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) School Libraries Section and the International Association of School Librarianship (IASL). The new gui— delines include several significant departures from the IFLA/UNESCO School Library Guidelines, published in 2002, but they remain grounded in and consis— tent with principles expressed in the 1999 IFLA/ UNESCO School Library Manifesto. The 2015 IFLA School Libraries Guidelines ended.) interpret in practi— cal terms those foundational principles and reflect current research, practice and conditions of 21st—century school librarianship. In this work historical roots and the development process of the new international school library guidelines are described, along with discussion of some concepts important to contemporary school library practice.
