All librarians do is check out books, right? A look at the roles of a school library media specialist. Melissa Purcell

A wonderful time break down of what a librarian does minute by minute. Aim going to start doing this Monday so that I can use this as research for the portfolio assignment.

Next section that stands out to me is the diagram on page 31. Aim a visual person so seeing my role like this is a great help (aim going to make my own version)

Today I am just looking over all the readings to see how they will fit into the assignments so I will return to her concepts later. (use quotes from this document)

School library media specialist 2.0 (lamb and Johnston 2008

Has a good intro but the best bit is the open letter

" While teacher-librarians still help young people develop a passion for reading, today's recommendations might also include an audio book or web- based magazine. Regardless of the tile you choose for the profession... Or centre (librarians) consider leathers needs in terms of multiple interests, abilities, and intelligences."

The article has lots of valuable information for ass 1 and life in the real library

OMG have rad 5 articles today the only way to keep up with the required readin, further reading and research is to read 4articles from required and fur her reading ( did the subject reserve reading for ass 1 but for 2 I will need to read one a day statingg 12 April) Just going through research readin to work out how much I will have to of that)

School library equip students with life long learning ( I had forgotten this )

"to promote a supportive, effective and enjoyable information environment which will enhance life long learning... "

This will be a good place to start of ass 1

"to ensure students graduate as competent, critical, and ethical users of information ...."

(collaborating with students up in till this moment I have only been focusing on teachers) Another pearl

Of course there are many more but for the moment I am just reading through to get an over view ( and testing my iP ad)
