Information mediation in a school library

Digital technologies have had an impact on todays society, since they have enabled people to communicate quickly and interactively through their resources. These technologies are now important channels of information and communication; through them, information has circulated at an accelerated rate and is increasingly being used for various purposes, including educational purposes, as a teaching resource. Information mediation is an important task within a library, since it is through it that the link between librarian, information and user is made. It is understood that digital technologies in the context of the school library would bring a range of possibilities with regard to information mediation, since through them it becomes possible to access countless information sources and pedagogical practices, which could support the librarys mission, functions and objectives for the community. With this in mind, the aim is to discuss the mediation of information in the school library using digital equipment, media and supports, including the internet, in dialogue with the possibilities and potential of each device.
