IASL/SIRS International Commendation Award - 2001
The Scotch College 2001 Literature Festival RECEIVED THE IASL/SIRS Commendation Award
SEATTLE, June 3, 2002- Suzette Boyd, Head of Library and Information
Services at Scotch College, Melbourne has been awarded the IASL/SIRS
Commendation Award for 2002. The award recognizes "outstanding and
innovative projects, plans or programs that could serve as models
for replication" by other associations and individuals. A plaque
and a cash award of US $500 will be presented at the 31st annual
conference of the International Association of School Librarianship
(IASL) in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia in August.
In making the award, President Peter Genco noted that the week-long
Literature Festival, organised by Suzette Boyd included a social
dimension that brought families, students and school together around
reading. The project involved the whole school community and comprised
110 sessions. Activities involving the school community included
a midweek "Books, blokes and brekky" for fathers and sons, a literary
dinner, reading challenges for staff and students, and an evening
forum on "Best Books for Boys". The school library website provided
entertaining profiles of authors who led workshops and gave talks
during the festival. Other schools have already been inspired to
run a similar program based on this model.
The International Association of School Librarianship comprises
personal and association members from over 80 countries committed
to enabling young people to develop literary and cultural appreciation
and to use information effectively through the improvement of school
libraries and school library programs as a vital component of education.
