Needle in the Haystack
Channel: Students Need School Libraries
Date: 2019-04-13

Too much information freely available online is irrelevant, unimportant or inaccurate.  Teacher librarians are the magnet, helping students find the proverbial needle in the haystack.  School libraries are critical for students to learn 21st Century skills (Communication, Critical Thinking, Creativity, Collaboration) which are essential to sift real knowledge from all the commercial and biased dross. 

Featuring: School librarian, Ruth Mahon; primary school student, Sohana; author, Morris Gleitzman; and teacher librarian Keith Mullumby discuss school libraries.  

This is one of 17 short films made for the "Students Need School Libraries" campaign by three Year 12 media students at Lake Tuggeranong College, Australian Capital Territory.
