Students' Information Literacy Needs: Competencies for Teacher-Librarians in the Twenty-first Century

Abstract

In 1995 Association for Teacher-librarianship in Canada (ATLC) and the Canadian School Library Association (CSLA), a division of the Canadian Library Association, established a joint committee to define the competencies necessary for effective teacher-librarians for the twenty-first century. The project was intended  to revise the Canadian School Library Association's Qualifications for Teacher-librarians (1979) and to serve the needs of both teacher-librarians and educational administrators.
