'The school library workforce in Australia' by Pru Mitchell



School libraries being staffed by professional teacher librarians has been in decline for sometime, this report in some ways confirms what we already knew.  However it does highlight some concerning issues regarding schools in low SES communities bearing the brunt of the decline in library services.  Oh for the Gonski reforms to be implemented in full.  It also presents interesting recommendations around the need for a consistent and unified approach to further research in this area, in order to assist the library profession to advocate on its own behalf.
