Introducing and Verifying the Model of Quality School Library

The paper presents the content and the process of creating the Model of Quality School Library that was a result of multiphase applicative research. It started with a previously formed theoretical draft model that was empirically verified. Both models, and the process of pilot verification, are presented. According to a number of authors, quality school libraries play a crucial role in supporting teaching and learning within educational institutions and are one of the fundamental prerequisites for systematic development of information literacy skills that are essential in our information society. With this model, Slovenian school librarianship aims to get an empirically verified theoretical base that will be useful in preparing strategic foundations and in practice.
