School libraries give . . .
• Room (virtual and real) for learning
–Today we need a learning commons, a learning
laboratory that is the foundation of all learning in the
school rather than a warehouse of information and
technologies. The new learning commons focuses on
client-centered programs pushing world-class excellence
throughout the school. Teacher-librarians in
partnerships with teacher technologists (the former tech
directors) and other learning specialists must look For
ways to capitalize on the rich resources, technologies,
spaces, and expertise available in the school library to
advance best-practice pedagogy and energize teaching
and learning for today's students and teachers.
• Koechlin, C et al. (2008). The time is now: transform your
school library into a learning commons

School Libraries give . . .
• An opportunity to grow
– Our library is more libratory than
library. It is the center of our school.
It is often a little noisy. You can hear
the sounds of podcasters and video
production and storytelling and presentation.
– Library is not merely a place to get stuff. It is
a place to invent, to create, to make stuff, to
collaborate on stuff, and to share stuff. It is
more kitchen that grocery store. More
transformational than transactional.

More than a Librarian?)

School librarians give . . .
• Digital citizenship
– I teach kids to be solid and proud digital citizens. I teach
them to be kind bloggers and tweeters and networkers. I
help them understand their digital footprints, to build
academic digital footprints.
– When my kids build media, when they remix, they know
how to respect the intellectual property of others.
– They know about the Creative Commons movement.
They are beginning to attribute Creative Commons
licensing to their own work.
– They know the rights and the limits of Fair Use. They
know how to attribute credit, how to cite, how and when
to quote.
