Libraries for Children & Young Adults and IFLA PAC Satellite Meeting
Swedish schools and public libraries in collaboration with cultural heritage institutions
and with authors.
Paper by Maud HellWriter, former school and public librarian
Lund, Sweden
BANGKOK
Cultural heritage
is considered important for
- Young people's construction of identity
- The sense of democracy
- Respect for others
- The sense of the public space
One way of learning about cultural heritage is to meet authors >
Collaboration with authorsTwo initiatives of Medioteket, resource centre for
schools in the Stockholm area: Schools can book an author, who writes
detective stories with students in connection to local history
As part of the 2012 Year of August Strindberg - innovator in drama and prose, a poet, a painter, a photographer – Medioteket introduced an interactive wiki.
Read or listen to a short story, translated and recorded in many languages
The author changed the title of the short story in his manuscript
Vestro Gothia – early example of heritage portal for children:Sneak inside the doors of archives, libraries and museums
Some of the activities offered:
Ask questions to experts (archaeologists, scientists, craftsmen, etc.)
Play or contribute to the game Tidsjakt (Time Hunt) - Municipality travel in time and space
Browse the old fragile books (some with amazing animal illustrations)
Explore themes such as Middle Ages, Children's fashion in the 20th century or Whales near us
Example of theme:search for ”children” and ”work”
Questions to consider based on the photos found:
What kind of work is performed by children? Do the children look happy or serious?
How was the children's lives and experiences of their childhood affected by that they had to work?
Would you be willing to work to help and support your family? Why / why not?
Stockholmskällan (The Stockholm Source)
Coordinated by Medioteket, resource centre for schools and school libraries in Stockholm area
The content is collected from many different sources like Stockholm City Library, The Royal Library and several museums.
Cooperation with the Royal Library
Stockholmskällan has been the only platform for the Royal Library to display ephemera .
Now there is also an ephemera blog: http://vardagstryck.blogg.kb.se/2013/04/25/digital-ephemera-
collections/
Can improve Information Literacy
In Stockholmskällan there are different types of materials on the same phenomenon - students can have a width in their work.
Helps teaching students to seek information and to see how much information is available from the various memory institutions
You can explore
archaeological finds and objects,
images, photos, films
music and lyrics
documented art exhibitions, drawings,
maps, manuscripts,
statistics,
fact books and fiction
Joyful surprises, good teaching and the opportunity go deeper in the subjects can determine whether the projects will stay a
success
