As a teacher, I never plan any library/research/writing projects without
touching base with the librarian FIRST. It didn't take my SLIS classes to
teach me this; some of us teachers have a lot of common sense. Teachers are
not in the business of "causing pain" to their students. Do the librarians
attend team and/or curriculum meetings to become aware of projects in the
planning stages? Could a librarian have a policy in place that the teacher and
librarian meet briefly after a project to review its success ( under the guise
of the librarian inquiring about future purchases to aid in the project's
success)? How about sending a survey to teachers asking what their projects
will be for the year (if they know) and responding with a list of materials
that ARE available? Just some ideas.

I have that problem all of the time. The teachers never check to see
what<br>
materials are available and I feel sorry for the kids because I am in
an<br>
urban area where there are not local libraries for the kids to walk to.
They<br>
have to get on the highspeed line to go to the county library. And we
are<br>
talking about a k-8 school. I have tried all different ways to do
this even<br>
going to the teachers and gently suggesting that they modify or change
their<br>
assignments - doesn't work. I know that this it probably not true but
I<br>
can't help thinking that the teachers don't care what pain they cause
the<br>
kids.<br>
