Quote from Qld Branch President on the 2011 publication:

Welcome to our first completely electronic edition of Inside the Shortlist.  The Children’s Book Council of Australia (Queensland Branch) is very proud to be involved in this, our fifth annual publication.  The opportunity to share this information with you in an electronic format is very exciting.  We believe the new format is kinder to the environment, allowing you to print and use only the pages/sections you need, thus eliminating some of the surplus paper floating about in our libraries and classrooms! 

Inside the Shortlist is an invaluable resource to those promoting quality Australian literature for children and young adults all around Australia.  It contains extensive teacher notes on all of the 2011 shortlisted books, including tips on the use of these books within the Australian school curriculum. It also provides practical display ideas for each book and links to relevant websites that will be of use to both school and public libraries.

I know you’ll enjoy this year’s offering and thank you in advance for your support of the Children’s Book Council of Australia (Qld Branch).
