| SLAMIT builds on the experience and outcomes
of the successful SLAM and GrandSLAM projects and now seeks to disseminate
the development of school libraries to become full library and learning
resource centres at the heart of the curriculum and the introduction
of new enquiry based approaches and learning styles embedded within
the curriculum.
The SLAMIT project now seeks to extend the work of these two
earlier successful projects and to make the experience, knowledge
and practice developed within these available to a far wider
European audience. The project seeks to offer three annual conference
events targeted at teachers, school librarians, headteachers
and other education professionals and managers, local authority
managers and others with responsibility for education policy
and provision. The outcomes of these events will be a new cohort
of education professionals willing to develop their local provision
and acting as beacon sites to initiate changes throughout their
local, regional and national provisions. 
Bringing together a cohort of individuals with an interest in
libraries, information centres and new learning styles is an
opportunity to disseminate the practical benefits of trans-national
cooperation, in both practical and physical form (through Comenius,
Minerva etc.) as well as promoting the newer e-Twinning and computer
mediated partnerships.
