It’s New! 91精选

Friday February 3, 2:00 – 2:45, ICTC Oakville

91精选 is a new organization dedicated to fostering the growth of the school library learning commons in Canada. While its formation was triggered by the dissolution of the CLA, 91精选 envisions its larger mission as an incubator for the growth of the school library learning commons in Canada through fostering research and professional knowledge, and strengthening the network of practitioners, scholars and supporters across the country. Join us as we share plans for extending the influence of Leading Learning: Standards of Practice for School Library Learning Commons in Canada (CLA 2014), rejuvenating the online journal School Libraries in Canada, fostering research with the Treasure Mountain Canada symposium, and developing strategic relationships for realizing the capacity of school libraries to lead learning for the future.

Slide Presentation

Ce site pr茅sente le document L鈥檃pprentissage en t锚te : Principes relatifs 脿 la transition de la biblioth猫que scolaire vers le carrefour d鈥檃pprentissage au Canada. Dans le futur, il comprendra des ressources pour la mise en place des carrefours d鈥檃pprentissage gr芒ce 脿 du contenu et des exemples en fran莽ais.

L鈥橝ssociation canadienne des biblioth猫ques a publi茅 la version anglaise du document (Leading Learning: Standards of Practice for School Library Learning Commons in Canada) en 2014. Elle a 茅galement financ茅 la traduction fran莽aise, mais s鈥檈st vue incapable de la publier avant sa dissolution. Toutefois, avant la fin de ses activit茅s, l鈥橝ssociation a transf茅r茅 le projet 脿 la toute jeune pour qui la publication de la traduction a 茅t茅 une priorit茅. Nous sommes donc tr猫s fiers d鈥檃voir r茅ussi 脿 lancer le site au cours des premiers mois de notre existence, et nous vous invitons 脿 visiter, 脿 explorer et 脿 utiliser cette nouvelle ressource.

We are very pleased to announce the publication of the website,

The website presents the national standards document L鈥檃pprentissage en t锚te : Principes relative 脿 la transition de la biblioth猫que scolaire vers le carrefour d鈥檃pprentissage au Canada. Future development of the website will include resources for implementation, with a particular emphasis on developing French language content and examples.

The English-language version of the national standards document (Leading Learning: Standards of Practice for School Library Learning Commons in Canada) was published by the Canadian Library Association (CLA) in 2014. CLA funded a French translation, but was unable to publish it before the dissolution of the association. Upon its dissolution, CLA transferred the standards project to , and publishing this French translation has been a priority for the fledgling organization. We are very proud to have accomplished this within the first few months of our existence, and invite you to visit, explore and use this new resource.
