A recent article in The Age newspaper about a school in Coburg prompted discussion on the oztl list about the shape and features of information services in schools now and into the future. Does the future hold libraries at all, or is the model defined by a space and its contents outmoded? (in which case, who's doing the work a teacher librarian does now? It's not all simplistically replaceable by Google and a keyboard. And is a library simply a space and books anyway?).

There is an article written by the Principal and staff, with their view of this situation: New age, new paradigm: the Coburg experience published in Access, November 2007. (Let me know if you're aware of an online link to it).
