spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/11065 The effectiveness of teacher librarians in primary schools : the experience of the Melani school libraries in the Eastern Cape Mnkeni, Nampombe Pearson Nassimbeni, Mary Library and Information Studies Includes bibliographical references (leaves 100-108) In 2002, a pilot project established school libraries in eleven primary schools in Melani, Fort Beaufort District. The role players in this initiative were South African Partners (an American Non Governmental Organization), the Eastern Cape Department of Education, the University of Fort Hare and the Library and Information Science Association of South Africa (LlASA). Each school nominated one teacher to receive teacher librarianship training to manage and sustain the school libraries. The aim of the project was to develop a model that would lead to the establishment and development of school libraries in other areas of the Eastern Cape. This research project sought to investigate the effectiveness of teacher librarians in primary schools reflecting on the experience of the Melani cluster of schools. The aim was to assess the effects the school libraries have had on teaching and learning. The qualitative and quantitative study involved 110 primary learners, 39 educators, 11 teacher librarians, and an official from the Provincial Department of Education. 2015-01-03T04:59:00Z 2015-01-03T04:59:00Z 2007 Master Thesis Masters MBibl http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11065 eng application/pdf Library and Information Studies Centre (LISC) University of Cape Town
