FORUM main conclusions


Main conclusions:
- SL are considered important in all education systems
- SL are not mandatory in all countries
- not all countries have specific legislation concerning SL and teacher librarians career(diferent numbers of hours per week, different opening and closing timetable)
-  Most SLare run by qualified teachers
- SL are no longer only ' book stores'; they are open spaces where students and teachers can find all kind of resources (paper, eletronic and digital). However they are not what we can call hybrid libraries and I mean they incorporate few digital resources and e-reading is not a main concerning yet (Germany has showed a great concern + Ireland mentioning data bases)
- promoting reading competences, ICT and information literacies are main goals
- SL promote partnerships with parents and local associations
- SL play an important role in promoting students academic success
- SL must have a budget which allows the gowth of the colection and digital equipment/  mixed funding is a solution in many countries
- evaluation is a fact but it differs from country to country

Last but not least important conclusion:
Maybe we have much in common than we tought. These presentations should enable us to do better in our SL
