摘要

As librarianship has evolved, it is important for librarians to  align themselves with other stakeholders (administrators, teachers) within the K-12 ecosystem. However, studies that compare alignment  across different stakeholders are often limited. Based on this gap, this study surveyed a sample (N = 186) of K-12 administrators, educators, and librarians to understand differing perceptions of school librarians’ roles as defined by the Future Ready Schools—Librarian Framework. Results found no statistically significant difference in perceptions among administrators, teachers, and librarians on curriculum, instruction & assessment; community partnerships; collaborative leaderships; data and privacy. However, differences emerged on some constructs (e.g.—use of space and time; literacy; personalized professional learning; robust infrastructure; budget and resources). Implications for research and practice are discussed.
