CSTL Research Retreat April 9 and 10, 2005

Presentations and Handouts

The first Australian international Research Retreat in Teacher Librarianship was held at University House in Canberra on 9 and 10 April, 2005. The retreat was attended by a mix of researchers and practitioners, but everyone shared an interest, perhaps even a passion, for doing, learning about, or learning how to do research.

Most of the presentations and group products are available here and more will be added over the next few weeks. Please watch this space as it grows.
