A National Conference jointly sponsored by the Association for Teacher-Librarianship in Canada and the Prince Edward Island Teacher-Librarians' Association

As we approach the new Millennium, school libraries continue to support all educators and students in their information literacy development and lifelong learning goals. School libraries are connected --- connected in a variety of ways that ensure their vital role as an integrated and integral component of our education system. School libraries are connected in these four ways that form the framework around which the theme Connected is developed at the conference:

• Connected Through Technology The school library remains on the forefront of innovative uses of information technology with a dedication to access for all.
• Connected Throughout the World The school library community worldwide is connected to its local community and around the world through professional associations, quality publications, distance learning and global networks.
• Connected Across the Curriculum As the school curriculum changes and grows, the school library program adapts and functions to support all educators as they design programs to meet new learning outcomes.
• Connected Through Literature The teacher-librarian builds a quality collection of children's literature and information resources that support the curriculum and reflect the total human experience.
