CALL FOR PAPERS
International Association of School Librarianship
42nd Annual International Conference
incorporating the
17th International Forum on Research in School Librarianship
August 26 – 30, 2013
Bali, Indonesia
Proposals are invited for presentations at the 42nd
Annual International Conference of the
International Association of School Librarianship (IASL),
incorporating the 17th International Forum on
Research in School Librarianship, to be held in Bali,
Indonesia on August 26 – 30, 2013.
THEME
The theme for the conference is Enhancing Students’ Life Skills through the School Library.
The role of the school library in education has
long been accepted, and there is much evidence
that the school library plays an important role in student
achievement. However, less explored is the role of the
school library in developing students in a holistic
and integrated manner to become responsible
members of society. The term life skills
has been defined by WHO and UNICEF (2003) as ‘abilities for
adaptive and positive behavior that enable individuals to
deal effectively with the demands and challenges
of everyday life’. The sub-themes reflect the categories
of life skills as laid down in the UNICEF (2003) definition
including Cognitive Skills, Personal Skills, and Inter-personal Skills.
SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS
Proposals may be submitted online via http://iasl2013.org/call-for-
All proposals must be received by February 15, 2013. The Organizers reserve the right to reject proposals received after the closing date.
