This study used qualitative methodology based on focus group interviews to explore school librarians’ involvement during the move to online teaching and learning contexts. Findings indicate these educators felt underutilized because of stakeholder misperceptions of their roles. However, most school librarians in the study reported creating informal communities of practice to support teachers and students through innovative responses to online learning demands caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Over the last few decades, school libraries have undergone a tremendous transformation. The technological age has ushered in a new type of library where online databases are king for research, students are issued their own laptops in one-to-one districts, and the integration of technology into the school environment has become a major initiative in most schools. Consequently, librarians across the country have been faced with the idea that they must pivot to remain relevant in the school environment. Today the job of a school library professional looks very different from those of the past. These days, libraries have 3D printers, Raspberry Pi computers, laser engravers, and sewing machines available for students. Librarians provide Cricut machines and teach collaborative lessons with Bee-Bot robots and Makey Makey kits. School libraries are still the campus source for information and research, but now they are also emerging as community centers, safe spaces, and SEL (social-emotional

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Digital literacy is a significant need in the 21st-century world. Mastery of digital literacy in the context of learning can streamline and improve learning processes and outcomes. Digital literacy is a new life skill currently. This study aims to describe the quality-based management model of elementary schools in enhancing the digital literacy of elementary school teachers in one of the provinces of Central Java, Indonesia. The qualitative approach used involves 10 principals and 20 elementary school teachers. The instruments used are observation, interview, and questionnaires. The analytical technique used Miles and Huberman’s analysis. Based on the results of this study, there is an increase in teacher digital literacy after education quality management is implemented through a teacher digital literacy training program that is designed continually. Forms of participation include involvement in teacher digital literacy training program activities, namely training program planning

The pandemic prompted Courtney Lewis and her fellow school librarians to dig deep and acknowledge that their information literacy instruction followed a just-in-time philosophy. Essentially, limited just-in-time information literacy instruction is like teaching a kid how to play soccer for seven days out of each year and expecting them to be a great player when they graduate. To move away from this philosophy, Lewis envisions how to create a self-paced digital curriculum rich in data for students, teachers, and librarians and outlines potential best practices for online information literacy instruction.

If one asks an administrator, a teacher, a student, or a parent what a school librarian's purpose is, there will be a variety of answers. Many of the responses would be accurate, but sometimes stakeholders have a misconception about what the occupation or role truly is. As a result, they do not realize that school librarians are incredible assets to the community. Some administrators and teachers have expectations primarily based on stereotypes. The perception is often that librarians simply shelve and check out books. This misconception is why some feel a clerk can replace a library professional. In an article from "Edutopia," Benjamin Barbour lists "3 Key Roles of School Librarians." He encourages teachers to understand librarians' roles as literacy advocates, resource managers, and research specialists (Barbour 2022). Though school librarians wear many hats, these roles are both critical and enduring. This article discusses choosing a career in school librarianship, practicing school librarianship, and advocating for school librarians and school libraries.

Abstract

This mixed-methods, exploratory case study examines perceptions of the implementation of the U.S. National School Library Standards for Learners, School Librarians, and School Libraries. A survey was first distributed to gain insight into school librarian implementation of the NSLS. Participants included practitioners in the state of Virginia in the United States who had attended professional development training on the National School Library Standards (NSLS). A sample was then interviewed about their implementation. Using the standards implementation levels identified by the California Common Core Implementation Task Force (2019) as a framework, findings indicate that after one year of training and use, many librarians remain at the awareness phase of implementation. Findings do suggest some areas in which practitioners have shown progress as they implement the standards into practice. Finally, common challenges or barriers to implementing the NSLS are noted. Future directions for research and recommendations for training at both the school/district level and national organization level are suggested.
