Abstract
Dr Carol Gordon explores the meaningful use of school library resources and services and in particular the use of Constructivist teaching methods as opposed to an Essentialist approach. Gordon argues that a Constructivist approach positions the role of the school library, and the teacher librarian, as essential.
