Response

Hello,

In response to your request for information on teacher/librarian collaboration, we conducted a sample search of the ERIC database. Below we have appended our search strategy, 12 citations with abstracts, and directions for accessing the full text. These citations may represent an introductory, rather than exhaustive, search for information on your topic.

If you would like to conduct your own free ERIC database searches via the Internet, please visit the ERIC Database Help pages for directions or go directly to  http://www.askeric.org/Eric/ to search.

AB: This paper examines how collaborative partnership roles are defined in an educational community. The central research question is: in situations where reading instruction is presented through a literature-based approach and library instruction is supported through a resource-based approach, how is the teacher-librarian partnership enacted in a technology-driven learning environment? It is based on a 2-year, field research-based extension of the author's original anchor study. The extension adds definition to the individual roles within the partnership and argues for the benefits resulting from current technology-driven learning environments. From analyses of field notes, artifacts and interviews, three theoretical constructs are presented: (1) to develop a collaborative partnership, the partners must be willing to support and maintain the relationship; (2) For a collaborative partnership to survive, evidence of interwoven curricula must be present; and (3) technology-driven learning adds definition to resource-based instruction.
