Hi everyone.
I have just finished reading an amazing article that not only framed lots of things rolling around in my head but was also very encouraging as to the role of the TL. It can be found at http://www2.curriculum.edu.au/scis/connections/teacher_librarians_and_the_networked_school.html
Really it is largely about keeping ahead of the Jones' when it comes to technology so as to maintain our relevance as TL. If we don't evolve our services within this ever increasing digital community we really are doing our community a diservice. Not only will we fade in to the background but we will remain in a very fiddly and time consuming environment. If we adopt a more digital mindset and developo an attitude that change is just somein\thing we have to accept and deal with, then our itme and energies will be used more wisely and we will in fact have more time to do more. The digital world really does bring many many advantages and, as one develops more expertise, releases the TL to do more. After all, we all wish we had more time to do things, right?
I am very very excited. I kind of feel like i ma in a pioneeer era of TL's who are breaking the mould of traditional ways of dealing with disseminating information in all its various formats, and learning new and exciting ways of meeting client needs more efficiently, accurately and with a broader base to draw upon as we move toward integration of library systems.
