- To date there has been only a limited focus within library
and information research programmes on the learning requirements
of children with special educational needs, and the present volume
draws more detailed attention to this important area of educational
provision. Reporting the results of the British Library sponsored
project 'Learning Support for Special Educational Needs', the
authors assess the needs of children within this group, and on
the basis of a series of detailed case studies, they document
good practice in meeting those needs, in terms of materials,
staffing and strategies - all with the goal of fostering collaboration
between subject teachers, learning support staff and librarians
in curriculum planning and delivery. Additionally, the study
attempts to place school librarianship more clearly within its
overall educational context.
