FROM JANUARY 17TH
Wade's reading "The school library..." (2005) really resonated with me.
Part of my wanting to become a TL, and gaining a position as one in 2011, was to try and promote this idea of the library being the hub of learning in a school (p. 14).
Students at my school seem uninterested in the library except when it is raining. I, myself, only sought the help of the librarian when I needed a particular resource for a particular lesson. Never have I considered what support the librarian could give in terms of enhancing student learning in programming and assessment.
The thought of integrating digital and physical resources is really exciting, as is the idea of having a virtual library. Personally I cannot see everything going digital, there is still a place for print, but merging the two really appeals to me.
One of my ideas for the library I will be working in is creating a wiki for it. On the wiki students could see the collection, be given links to other other local libraries, and access tutorials on how to maximise their learning through study and research skills. There could be a page for each KLA or each year group with assessments and associated resources.
I think libraries have an exciting future and I want to be part of it.
