Librarians and Educators Collaborating for Success: The International Perspective

A book edited by Marcia A. Mardis. Librarians and teachers worldwide are devising collaborations that boost student achievement—best practices that could be successfully emulated in your library or school.

IASL is a partner for the Global Media and Information Literacy Week, which is led by UNESCO. This partnership aims to raise awareness about the importance of media and information literacy.

Support-A-Member (SAM) applications will now be accepted throughout the year! The SAM program is designed to make it possible for school librarians, teacher-librarians, library assistants, and others interested in school library service living in IASL Zone C countries to belong to IASL. Funded through the generosity of IASL members, this membership is granted for a two year term. Learn more about how to apply for the award here.
