It could be argued that robust information policy underpins effective information practice and that it is, therefore, a suitable topic for investigation. Indeed this was the premise taken by the organizers of the Open Session conducted by the IFLA Section of School Libraries and Resource Centers at the IFLA conference in Oslo in August 2005. It was the success of this open session that led to the idea of making information policy the theme of this issue of School Libraries Worldwide. Originally, Anne Clyde, the then Chair of the IFLA Section of School Libraries and Resource Centers, was invited to edit the theme issue. Following her tragic and untimely death, the Editor asked me to step into the breach, a task I was delighted to take up.
