New Librarian Fears

[Cindy Hughes <CHughes302@AOL.COM>]

I am a new librarian at a middle school in Tennessee (grades 6-8).  I have
only k-8 certification and am beginning graduate courses in Information
Sciences this month.  I will teach library on a waiver for two years while I
am working towards my Master's Degree.  I am scared to death because I have
no experience teaching in a library.  How am I going to start out the year?
I don't know how a library class should be taught.  I have gotten some ideas
from the internet, lesson plans and curriculum frameworks and so forth, but
I'm not sure how I am going to begin the first few days of classes.  Any
ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Our school has approximately 475
students.  I have 4 computers in the library and I am going to be the only
person in the library.
Thanks in advance,
Cindy Hughes, Librarian
