Zusammenfassung:This paper attempts to provide a comprehensive report on school libraries and the status of training of school / teacher librarians in thirteen African countries. A full report will be presented to the IASL Research Forum 2012 in November 2012. Recently, the IASL Research SIG, Royal Tropical Institute (KIT) Information & Library Services, the ENSIL Foundation (Stichting ENSIL) and a number of other international school library colleagues have been co-operating in an attempt to collect reliable research data on public school libraries. The provision of a new form of affordable online training for school librarians / teacher librarians is introduced. It also presents an idea for a new form of affordable online training, combining the use of ICT with traditional concepts, which could eventually be used for the training of school library staffthroughout the world.
