Statement
The achievement of many of the common and agreed goals of schooling is dependent on the schools' ability to deliver a curriculum supported by a relevant, dynamic and responsive collection of information resources. Resource provision is an integral part of curriculum development. Effective resourcing of the curriculum ensures that:
every learner has access to a variety of quality, relevant, accurate and current information resources;
learners' personal growth is supported by resources, which meet their developmental needs and interests;
teachers' effectiveness is enhanced by access to recent curriculum and professional development material.
The curriculum is resourced through:
a collection of learning resources and equipment organised, accessed and circulated through a library resource centre;
resources managed through other areas of the school;
the provision of access to human and material resources and information in the wider community, e.g. State Libraries, public libraries, community information agencies and databases.
