A plaque and a cash award of US $500 will be presented at the 27th annual IASL conference in Ramat-Gan, Israel. The Australian School Library Association National Capital Territory chapter developed COMPUTERS, RESEARCH AND STUDENTS: A SURVIVAL KIT FOR TEACHERS AND PARENTS , a "train the trainer" kit for preparing teacher-librarians to present workshops to teachers and parents about carrying out research projects in an electronic information environment in such a way that student projects exemplify, not "cut and paste" or plagiarism, but authentic and meaningful learning experiences. In making the announcement, Sigrun Hannesdottir, President of the IASL, noted the long history of Australian leadership in teacher-librarianship and innovative approaches to professional development and information literacy. It is not at all unusual then that the award for 1998 should be awarded again to an Australian project. The Australian School Library National Capital Territory can be contacted at P.O.
