Re: hub of the school

This discussion fits in with a question I've been thinking about asking.
I'd love to hear from some schools (esp. high schools) where you feel the
library is a vibrant, thriving entity, where there are also good, thriving
computer labs, and where the two are co-existing happily.  What guidelines
do your teachers use in deciding whether to take a class to the library or
to the lab?  In which steps of the research process do they use each
facility? How does the school decide where to put new technology?  How do
you and the computer lab teacher cooperate? Do you and the lab techer plan
together with teachers?  How do you decide which equipment is AV and yours
to circulate, or computer stuff and they circulate it (i.e. digital
cameras)? This is such a fluid situation and has many potentials for
overlap, power struggles and jealousy. I'd like to post a hit with some
success stories.
