Evidence IN Practice

School librarians’ effectiveness as educators may

hinge on being considered a peer by classroom teacher colleagues and equals with classroom teachers by administrators.

As Zmuda and Harada attest, “Effective partnerships help teachers to meet their existing priorities, which include the implementation of a standards-based curriculum” (2008, p. 38).

Evidence IN Practice

Teachers/instructional partners in learning spaces is the second on a new list of abilities for academic librarians.

(Walters & Skinner, 2011).

“The greatest asset any library has is

a librarian” (Lankes, 2011, p. 29).
