Abstract
A new service model has emerged for librarians in response to the changes and challenges of the network society and participatory culture of the 21st century. Internet connectivity and electronic communities have blurred boundaries between consumers and producers, learners and teachers, work and play, school and community. Collective endeavours have replaced solo efforts, putting communication, networks and relationships at the heart of professional practice and making collaboration, teamwork and partnership the standard mode of operation for school librarians, not a strategic option for consideration in particular circumstances. Practitioners are broadening their networks beyond teachers and librarians to engage with students and their families, as well as teaming up with other specialists and community actors. They are also deepening their connections with contacts, which has often meant major upskilling to develop the technical and behavioural abilities needed for building and leading teams, communicating in multiple modes, and managing change and conflict.
