School libraries snippets

Some interesting thoughts evidently came up at the School Library Journal Summit that was held last November in the USA: here is the wiki, which includes a link to a page outside the wiki with the presentations: http://sljsummit.pbwiki.com/

The 2007 IASL (International Association of School Librarianship) Conference is being held in Taipei, Taiwan, 16-20 July 2007. The theme is Cyberspace, D-world, E-learning: Giving Libraries and Schools the Cutting Edge. See http://www.iasl-slo.org/conference2007.html

Something I hadn't come across: The Minnesota Educational Media Organisation Recommended Standards for Information and Technology Literacy (in schools): it also has other material on its website http://www.memoweb.org/index.html

Unrelated Easter Bunny-type P.S.: I think Miffy is very cute. The National Library of Scotland has just launchded an exhibition on to celebrate 50 years of Miffy: http://www.nls.uk/news/miffy_exhibition.html
