Every Flower in the Garden: Collaboration Between School Librarians and Science Teachers

Abstract

Both the teaching profession and the school library profession emphasize collaboration as a way to improve teaching and learning. However, K-12 school librarians rarely collaborate with science teachers. This article reviews publications related to collaboration between science teachers and school librarians. Themes that emerged from the literature included barriers to collaboration as well as opportunities to collaborate in four areas: traditional literacy instruction, information literacy instruction, classroom technology integration, and connecting science to students' daily lives. Gaps in the research and suggestions for future study are also included.
