In many countries, especially countries in Asia, there has always been a lack of understanding on the role of the teacher librarians. Through the results of interviews with two professionally recognized teacher librarians in Hong Kong, we define some enhancing roles and best practices of teacher librarians in the Asia that merit further exploration. Because previous empirical studies have been small and quantitative, this qualitative study highlights key topics in a proposed research agenda that focuses on current and emerging issues of teacher librarianship in the digital age.
