contents School Librarians: The Forgotten Partners Canter, Lora Lee Smith Voytecki, Karen Zambone, Alana Jones, Jami Inclusion Disabilities Cooperation School Libraries Special Education Teachers Librarians Regular and Special Education Relationship Librarian Teacher Cooperation Vignettes Library Role Collaboration between special and general educators is not only essential; the 2004 Individuals With Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA, 2004) mandates this collaboration. Special educators must forge partnerships with general educators to create inclusive school environments for all students. Although collaboration between these professionals has increased while they address such issues as accountability, achievement, and effective use of dwindling resources, these collaborative efforts often leave out a key player: The school librarian is this forgotten partner. Despite the value of the school library, neither special education teachers nor general education teachers typically form working partnerships with school librarians. This article illustrates the importance of collaboration between teachers and school librarians and highlights the possible benefits to students and faculty. (Contains 1 figure and 1 table.)
