'The richness of the schools information services will influence and may even determine whether or not teachers and students are empowered to be independent learners both today and for the future" ASLA, Learning for the Future: Developing Information Services in Schools,Curriculum Corporation ,2001. P.3 Overview, Educational Context. On first reading I thought this quote could be influential in convincing school staff the value of having a T/L., especially here in Vic where many primary schools are only staffed by Library technicians. Or would it be?

ASLA provides a good framework for T/L's to create and implement policy for the library to be
a centre of information literacy in a school community . It is a good source of quotes in support of ILSC, however the research data included in the tables and the 'information and Literacy matrix of student learning ' presented date back to the 1990's. I need to review more current research figures and student learning models due to the rapid rate of change in new technologies since ASLA was published in 2001.
