What is a Teacher Librarian

A Teacher Librarian, as defined by the Australian School Library Association (ASLA), is an individual who holds both recognised teaching qualifications and qualifications in librarianship. Teacher Librarians are important to education due to their combined knowledge of teaching, curriculum, library and information management. Information is the foundation of all education, and therefore teacher-librarians play a pivotal role within Queensland schools.

The three major roles of the Teacher Librarian are:

• Curriculum leaders

• Information specialists

• Information services managers
