Abstract
This article considers the implementation of the Australian Curriculum in the context of school libraries. It reviews key roles of school library staff as outlined in 'Learning for the Future: developing information services for Australian schools', 2nd edition (2001), and considers what priorities face teacher-librarians and school leadership teams in ensuring the school library successfully supports learners and teachers in selecting, organising and facilitating access to curriculum resources at the school level.
