08.01.2022 New free Resource (database) for the times How fortunate we have been! The Australian Government Department of Education, Skills & Employment provided NCACL wit...h a grant over a year to create a database of children's books by and about Aboriginal and or Torres Stait Islander Peoples. We were inspired by the United Nations declaration of 2019 as the International Year of Indigenous Languages. This year highlighted the crucial role that languages play in people's daily lives. All of Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages are under threat and require ongoing work to be maintained. We know that we hold a strong collection of children's books in First Nations languages and other books in this area. We want to promote these. We thought we might find 300 books possibly, but we found SO MANY more! The grant provided funds to create the database and to describe over 300 books for children from birth to 12 years of age. We hope for another grant to finish the database for young people through secondary school. There were 25 of us across Australia who read, wrote annotations, and researched amazing free teaching resources for each of these books. This free database is available to everyone anywhere in the world. It is especially useful for those working with children. Besides annotations for each of the 300+ books and hyperlinks to free teaching resources, we have included many different ways to find just the 'right' books. There are Australian curriculum links, the Early Years Learning Framework links, author, title, publisher, date, subject access and free text searching. You can find books in specific languages, books written and illustrated by children, or books by your favourite authors and illustrators, for example. You can share what you find with colleagues using social media links. We wish to thank the project team of over 30 people who contributed in many ways to make this database possible. Today we celebrated with the Indigenous Literacy Foundation their special Indigenous Literacy Day with a small display of some special gems, pictured here with this post. But don't stop here! Come visit our free resource itself!
