Softlink has provided their support for schools and teacher librarians by participating in advocacy for the industry. In particular, Australian schools were invited to participate in a survey of school library budgets, qualified staffing levels and NAPLAN literacy results in 2010 and 2011. Results from this study formed part of Softlink’s submission to the Inquiry.
