It really isn't a matter of personal preference, is it?  The mandate of our
professional organization (as laid out in IP2) and theories of best
practice require us to work toward both flexible access and
teacher/librarian collaboration which ensure the highest levels of student
learning.  There's no arguing the benefits of improved student learning!

Best,
Toni
