Illinois School Library Program Standards: Linking for Learning
The Illinois School Library Program Standards (Linking for Learning) 5th edition sets a new level of excellence for school library media programs in Illinois and their contribution and impact on student learning.
The mission of the 5th edition is to provide a set of standards for evaluation of school libraries across the state of Illinois and tools that support school librarians in their effort to develop a quality school library. This document provides support for growth and encouragement for collaboration with school and global entities that will empower students with the essential skills to enable them to become lifelong learners.
The Illinois School Library Program Standards is an accessible, current, working tool that connects school library media programs to core curriculum, information literacy and the Illinois Learning Standards. It focuses on the integration of information and technology into learning and provides an implementation framework which emphasizes planning and assessment.
