CALLING ALL SCHOOL LIBRARY EDUCATORS AND PROFESSIONALS INVITATION TO JOIN THE CONVERSATION: CiSSL’s 3rd International Research Symposium, April 26-27th, 2013. An Invitation from Dr Ross Todd (Director of CiSSL) and Dr Carol Gordon (Co-Director of CiSSL), Rutgers, The State University of NJ. We cordially invite you to participate in the 3rd International Research Symposium by the Center for International Scholarship In School Libraries (CISSL), to take place at the Heldrich Hotel in New Brunswick, NJ, on Friday 26th and Saturday 27th April, 2013.
This Research Symposium, titled Digital Youth, Inquiry, and the Future School Library … Research to Practice is going to be an exciting event!! It marks the 10th year of CiSSL, founded in April 2003 by Professor Carol Kuhlthau, distinguished scholar and school library educator. Professor Kuhlthau’s groundbreaking research focusing on the Information Search Process began in 1983 and spans 30 years. It has been pivotal research in information science, librarianship, and integral to shaping the collaborative instructional role of school librarians around the world.
CiSSL’s 3rd International Research Symposium will celebrate this important research agenda, and its implementation through Guided Inquiry. We hope that you will join us and share in this significant milestone occasion: a celebration, dialog and brainstorming around inquiry, digital youth and the future school library. Your voice is important.
At the heart of CiSSL’s research agenda and the symposium is the question: Are our schools prepared to deliver a 21st century education for digital youth? Our ongoing research has sought to examine how young people engage with the information landscapes of schools and the digital world, and how their learning can be nurtured through inquiry-centered pedagogy through the school library, and how this can be documented and disseminated.
International developments focusing on inquiry, creative technologies for learning (such as gaming and digital devices), literacy in digital environments, and national standards will frame the Symposium’s program and provide a research-based platform for discussion, brainstorming and charting guidelines for developing cutting-edge inquiry-centered school libraries as key learning and pedagogical centers in schools.
The International Research Symposium will feature the work of CiSSL researchers, and will bring together an international team of scholars and practitioners who are continuing to develop and extend this work. It will also present the work of teams of international practitioners who have been implementing Guided Inquiry in their schools for several years. They will share their experiences, and engage you in the extensive evidence they have collected in relation to process and learning impacts. This is the first international research and evidence-based practice agenda that addresses Guided Inquiry.
We want to see you there!!

Today, I'm asking your special attention for the 'Center for International Scholarship in School Libraries' CISSL. The center is part of the Rutgers School of Coomunication and Information (Rutgers, State University of New Jersey), situated in New Brunswick. The Center is well-known for its ongoing research in school librarianship. The latest research on behalf of the New Jersey Association of School Librarians, begun in April 2009, seeks to (a) construct a picture of the status of New Jersey's school libraries in terms of their informational-transformational-formational dimensions, (b) to understand the contribution of quality school libraries to education in New Jersey; (c) to understand some of the contextual and professional dynamics that enable and inhibit school libraries to contribute significantly to education in New Jersey, and (d) to make recommendations to NJ stakeholders to develop a sustained and long term program of capacity building and evidence-based continuous improvement of school libraries in New Jersey. Phase one and two have recently been published.
Another significant report is the Complete Position Paper. One quote I would like to share with you here is: "Schools without libraries minimize the opportunities for students to become discriminating users in a diverse information landscape and to develop the intellectual scaffolds for learning deeply through information. Schools without libraries are at risk of becoming irrelevant."
All reports can be downloaded for free. Take the opportunity to study and share these reports, as they offer substantial evidence for the importance of school libraries in today's education. April 24, 2012. Lourense Das. Delete the scoop?
