Swedish School Librarianship: Meeting New Challenges
Farmer, Lesley S. J.
International Research and Review, v9 n2 p43-55 Spr 2020
Sweden has made great strides in school librarianship, particularly in the area of legislation and policy. School libraries are now mandated, and curriculum indicates where school librarians should play a role. School libraries must be accountable to two sets of agencies, and oversight mainly occurs at the municipal level. The main challenge currently is the lack of school librarians. The author examined the practices of the Borås Högskolan School of Library and Information Science faculty, and collaborated with their school librarian program faculty to address this shortage and the preparation needs of school librarians. Several recommendations emerged from this work.
