Abstract
AASL's Standards for the 21st-Century Learner (2007) call on school librarians to provide students with opportunities to develop essential learning skills for the twenty-first century. These standards are addressed in the school librarians role as instructional partner. In this role, the school librarian collaborates with teachers to plan, develop, deliver, and assess instruction that infuses technology, inquiry, and information-literacy skills into the subject curriculum. Virtual libraries commonly refer to digital collections and repositories that libraries offer to users. These are multipage online resources devoted to the needs of their specific learning communities. Virtual libraries provide 24-7 access to a broad collection of resources including online databases, focused pathfinders, links to vetted Web resources, e-books, curated resources, as well as space for hosting student-created projects. In contrast, when a school librarian plans, develops, and delivers an online course, he or she is an instructional partner and a teacher from the very beginning of the process to the very end.
