(Ottawa, June 17, 2009) - President Linda Shantz-Keresztes, on behalf of
the Canadian Association for School Libraries (CASL), is pleased to
announce the official launch of the CASLNetwork on Wednesday, June 17th,
2009. The CASLNetwork is an online community for school library
specialists working in or for Canadian schools. CASL has created this
network so that teacher librarians, library technicians, and school
library staff across the country can meet, discuss issues, ask
questions, find answers, form groups either by province or territory or
by themes like advocacy and literacy skills, and post relevant pictures
and videos. In moving on to a Web 2.0 platform, CASL is looking to meet
the needs of its membership by offering a multi-faceted communication
tool so that they can participate in the process rather than simply
receiving information.
This is the starting point. Anyone working in a school library or
working for school libraries in Canada is invited to join us.
