The school library as a promoter of multimedia literacy in primary education in Croatia

In this paper, we present and critically view the current state of the multimedia literacy education in Croatia’s elementary education. We also offer an approach to promote multimedia literacy in primary education in Croatia encouraging school librarians, elementary school students and teachers to use multimedia in regular classes. The project “Literacy for the 21st Century”, launched by the school library of the elementary school Dubovac, is being presented as an example of best practice to encourage exploration and critical thinking about selection and combination of media and the multimedia content.
