Principals, School Library, SL Professionals, Learning Outcomes, Partnerships, and SL Web Advocacy

Abstract

Even within many different school leadership styles, it seems to be an evidence to many SL professionals that Principal’s role is always a key factor for SL services, curriculum enhancement and learning outcomes, valuing or, in the contrary, giving hard times to SL professionals projects and SL teamwork. School Principal ́s role is particulary important concerning teachers-SL cooperation, the very heart of learning success. How could each SL professional and each SL professional team learn to act wisely, improving communication and advocacy skills, managing strategies according to different School Principal’s profiles and contexts? Which are School Principal’s “valued” information sources on SL issues – official, professional, networking, public librarians sources? And which, and how, could be reinforced, locally, nationally and internationally (IASL included)? Web 2.0 is making/could make/should make a difference for these purposes?
