This paper provides an introduction to a presentation that will explore the standards and academic preparation of teacher-librarians in North America and selected countries (e.g., Brazil, Denmark, Portugal, India) to ascertain both the core competencies required for 21st century work in school libraries and the factors that predict high-quality teacherlibrarianship preparation programs. In the process, the presentation will discuss ways that professional school library associations can advocate for standards that insure high-quality school library programs.
