English abstract

The school librarian is responsible for facilitating access to electronic resources, creating an awareness of these formats, and ensuring that the pupils and staff have the skills to exploit them effectively. Traditionally, these skills have been developed within the individual secondary and tertiary educational sectors. In the UK, skills acquisition and the implications of resource provision are being considered across secondary and tertiary education. The paper opens with an account of a study of the provision and use of electronic resources in tertiary education in the UK, and then explores the implications of research into skills transfer between this sector and secondary schools.
