Teacher Librarians

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This site was conceived, developed and launched in August 1999 by Amanda Credaro, who has continued to maintain it since its inception a decade ago. In recent months, time constraints have resulted in a somewhat sporadic maintainance schedule, but a wide-ranging search for someone to take over this facility has not been successful, most likely as it is without financial renumeration.

In addition, Yahoo!Geocities, who host this site, have now announced they are ceasing operations shortly. Therefore, no more registrations will be accepted nor details amended.

Those who have their details already available in the database might consider contacting one of their local specialist library employment agencies that offer casual and relief employment. Wishing you all the very best for the future,

Amanda Credaro

Frequently Asked Questions!

Why does this site exist? This database exists to provide school library staff with a quick summary of professionally acredited and employment-approved relief staff.

How much does it cost to be included? This is a free service, "staffed" by a volunteer.

Who can be on this database? "Registration" as a Teacher Librarian requires an industry-recognised formal qualification in the Information Sciences, together with the same level of qualification in teaching. As this facility aims to provide rapid access to experienced staff, Library Assistants, Technicians, and other support staff will ideally have already been approved by a state-recognised authority to work in the K-12 education sector.

Can I trust the information shown here? The information on this page was provided by the individuals shown above. Responsibility for checking the credentials of the people listed above rests with the employer.

How current and accurate is this information? This page is updated as information comes to hand. It is the responsibility of those who register here to provide updated information. If users of this facility find anyone listed who is no longer available, it would be of enormous help to all if they could advise us of that fact.

How can I contact the webmaster? If you have any questions or comments about this website, please email me.
