Abstract
Collaboration between librarians and teachers within formal education, in teaching various literacies has long been recognized as one of the most effective ways of teaching. The paper analyses, using data from three studies, aspects of collaboration between librarians and teachers at primary, secondary and tertiary level. Three research questions focus on forms and extent of collaboration, its elements and approaches, and challenges and obstacles. Results point to still existing differences between higher education and lower levels of education, and to large differences between librarians and teachers in their behaviours, values, attitudes and practices. This opens an important debate around how to effectively approach these issues to improve collaboration, and which of the issues belong to the personal, institutional, and national level. The paper provides some suggestions on how to address these issues at all three levels.

Résumé
La collaboration entre les bibliothécaires et les enseignants dans l’enseignement des différentes formes de littératie est reconnue depuis longtemps comme l’un des moyens les plus efficaces d’enseignement. Cet article analyse, à partir de données issues de trois études, divers aspects de la collaboration entre bibliothécaires et enseignants aux niveaux primaire, secondaire et tertiaire. Trois questions de recherche portent sur les formes et l’ampleur de la collaboration, ses composantes et approches, ainsi que sur les défis et les obstacles rencontrés. Les résultats mettent en évidence des différences encore persistantes entre l’enseignement supérieur et les autres niveaux d’éducation, ainsi que d’importants écarts entre bibliothécaires scolaires et universitaires et les enseignants en ce qui concerne leurs comportements, valeurs, attitudes et pratiques. Cela ouvre un débat crucial sur la manière d’aborder efficacement ces enjeux et sur l’identification des problèmes relevant des sphères personnelle, institutionnelle et nationale.
