> Librarian’s can play an important role in curriculum development by building bondage between the community of learners with collage through collaborative program planning and teaching. Librarian can work with others teachers to provide instruction, evaluation and production of information. Integration of library programs will have a positive impact on collaboration, leadership and student achievement if librarians are expert in information students and learning resources management. > Teacher-librarians provide leadership in bringing about some of the major curriculum changes in schools today. They become teaching, learning and assessment partners who maintain strong curriculum and instruction involvement by suggesting newer books published on the subject by different publishers of international repute or by distributing the catalogues received from different publisher for selection of books on the concerned subjects by the teachers. > As information manager librarians have a strong values and vision of their school. Librarians can play the role of catalyst between the teachers and the administrators by communicating properly and involve themselves in curriculum development in a better way. Teacher-librarians can lead professional development activities and be involved in many ways with teacher education. > 2. How is the library being used in practice? > Traditionally library is supposed to be used as a place where books are organized in a manner which can be easily located and information disseminated in a useful way. But in practice, it is a dump yard for the teachers to bring the children to library and teachers will take care of their own work and leave the management of the students to the librarians and so on. As suggested by Peter Dunoon, librarians must develop a self confident and put forth their views to the management and the teachers to utilize the resources available in the library in a proper manner to reap maximum achievement by the students. Librarians should proactive in promoting the importance of library as a centre of learning (hub) in any school or learning centre. > 3. What are the expectations of teachers in using the library and embedding/reinforcing the information literacy skills in their curriculum documents? > Every time, when a group of children visiting the library for doing a research project, librarian along with the teacher collaborate effectively in teaching the information literacy skills. The emphasize on the Big Six i.e. the research skills have to be taught to the students in the library itself before they even start with their research work. Librarians can persuade the subject teachers to inform about the Big Six whenever a chapter is over in the class while undertaking any activity or research project in connection with the subject in discussion. > Information literacy is the ability to access and evaluate information that promotes both independent learning and social responsibility. Today’s students must possess information skills or research and study skills that will lead to critical thinking, effective problem solving and decision-making. Information skills taught in isolation are of little value. They must be integrated with subject specific skills and content in resource-based programs in which teacher-librarians are working partners with the classroom teachers and administrators to plan, develop, implement and evaluate units of study. It is the teacher-librarian’s job to show students how to analyze information critically and use it wisely. Students must know how to plan, locate, and retrieve information. They process what they find to create a product and the final step is evaluation >  >
