Abstract

The Learning Resource Centre (LRC) of ESF King George V School (KGV) decided to enhance the awareness of students' use of electronic databases and e-books. This study explores how LRC promotes electronic resources to students effectively. The authors use the honeycomb marketing model and RACE planning framework to develop a strategy for organizing outreach and training activities to promote its e-resources. This study explores two strategies: using social media to stimulate students' involvement and interaction and advocating teacher-library collaboration. This study provides insights to school libraries on developing strategic plans for promoting their digital collections. Scant articles focus on promoting electronic resources in school libraries, especially international secondary schools in Asia.

International School Teachers' Professional Development in Response to the Needs of Third Culture Kids in the Classroom
A school that is independent of any national system of education and offers a curriculum that is different from that in the host country. The curriculum focuses on international education, while responding to requirements of the host country’s Ministry of Education. The school is usually, but not always, located overseas from a student’s country of citizenship. There is a multinational and multilingual student body, with English or bilingual being the language of instruction. Some international schools have local students from the host country whose parents pay high tuition fees so their children have exposure to an international education, learn in the language of the international school, and obtain qualifications necessary for applying for higher education studies overseas. Priority is given to developing an ‘international mindedness’ among its students.
