Funktioner och roller i skolbiblioteket ? En studie av två F-6-skolor i Växjö
The purpose with this study is to examine school-leaders?, school-librarians? and teachers? expectations and aims for their school-libraries at two different schools in the city of Växjö. The study is based on these five questions:· How do school-leaders, school-librarians and teachers think about learning?· What function does the school-library have?· What roles do school-leaders, school-librarians and teachers have in the school-library?· How do school-leaders, school-librarians and teachers experience the co-operation in the school-library?· How would school-leaders, school-librarians and teachers wish that the co-operation should be?To be able to answer these questions I have done thirteen qualitative interviews and studied literature relevant to the subject. Three different theories are used as a theoretical framework; the traditional perspective, individual constructivism and social constructivism. I have also been inspired by Brigitte Kühne?s and Louise Limberg?s theories about school-libraries. The result of this study shows that it is very important that every personal-group in the school is aware of the function of school-libraries and the different role school-leaders, school-librarians and teachers play in the school-library. It is also significant that the different personal-groups frequently discuss and reflect about their beliefs and thoughts of how learning can be accomplished. One of the most essential aims for the school-library is to work with students. Another important task is to teach information literacy to the students.
