Canadian Association for School Libraries
A community of school library specialists working in Canadian schools. Pour ceux ou celles qui travaillent dans les bibliothèques scolaires.
Welcome to the CASL Network
CASL launched this network so that teacher librarians and school library staff across Canada can meet, discuss issues, ask questions, form like minded groups, (either by province or territory or by themes like Advocacy or Literacy Skills), post pictures and videos.
This is the starting point. Anyone working in or for school libraries in Canada is invited to join.
-------------------------------------
CASL offre une porte ouverte pour ceux ou celles qui travaillent dans les bibliothèques scolaires francophones au Québec et dans le reste du Canada. Nous vous invitons à nous joindre dans des discussions, à poser des questions, à joindre des groupes (par province ou par thèmes), et à ajouter des photos ou des vidéos.
Ceci est un point de départ. Nous invitons tous ceux et celles qui travaillent dans ou pour les bibliothèques scolaires francophones à nous joindre.

Marc Garneau: Where is Canada's plan for the digital age?
Marc Garneau, MP for Westmount-Ville Marie and Liberal critic for Industry, Science and Technology, has posted an Op-Ed on Canada's need for a digital strategy for the 21st century.
Rather than waiting to see what everyone else is doing and then reacting to it, Canada needs to take the initiative for an in-house solution to digital access in Canada.
