School library concepts developed by an inquiry-approach curriculum organization

Abstract

Focusing on a recently-published pedagogical statement about the role of school libraries and librarians for specific inquiry-focused curricula, this paper looks at how school librarians used the documentation in individual situations. Experiences and perceptions of individual librarians resulted in analysis of specific uses of the document: informing school leadership teams, contribution to developing school library and librarian roles and documentation, including jobs descriptions, and aiding preparation for school evaluation by the curriculum organization concerned.
