KBANZSL
Knowledge Bank of Australian and New Zealand School Libraries
The Knowledge Bank of Australian and New Zealand School Libraries (KBANZSL) was developed by academics from the School of Information and Communication Studies at Charles Sturt University (SICS, CSU), New South Wales, Australia in 2022-20223.
KBANZSL has been designed to build knowledge about, and research capacity in, Australian and New Zealand teacher librarianship. This database aims to support practice and advocacy nationally and internationally by providing an in-depth and historical oversight of Australian and New Zealand literature associated with teacher librarianship in one accessible location. KBANZSL provides single finding aid to critical reports, books, papers and other resources for and about teacher librarians and school libraries in Australia and New Zealand, from 1900 to the present day. Unless considered a seminal contribution to the literature of the profession, journal literature is generally not included, as it is indexed elsewhere.
KBANZL is intended as a resource for practitioners, researchers, administrators and advocates of school libraries and teacher librarianship.
Further details of the project’s scope can be found in the About tab. Information on topic definitions can be found under the Nodes and Resource Descriptions tab.
