Good Afternoon, I am trying to understand the difference between being reactive and proactive in providing service to teachers. Currently I am a reactive person in responding to faculty requests. When, while talking to teachers and hear what they are going to be doing in class I will assemble a collection of resources for them, or if they request information on a particular topic they will have it within a couple of hours, or if they are assigning a project that involves research I will invite/encourage them to bring their class to the library for extra research time (in addition to their normal fixed library time.) This I consider being reactive to their request. My administration is encouraging me to become more proactive. Now I understand that the current literature is pushing collaberation with teachers and I agree with that. But am I not providing good service by being reactive. It seems that being proactive is working to get to the next level. Any feedback - currently I am being made to feel like I am not providing quality library service. Thanks for all your comments and help in the past. It is much appreciated!
