One of the things I've done that I think would qualify under "the little things we 
do that should be viewed as a form of collaboration" is to set up the screensavers 
on all the library computers to teach art.  The art teacher and I went to 
Webshots.com and chose screensavers under the Webshots "fine arts" category.  We 
put five different examples of fine art on each library computer, and programmed 
them to randomly cycle through the five.  Anyone in the library, or even just 
walking down the hall past the library, is exposed to a constant art show of nearly 
100 different pieces of art. I learned you have to be careful with Webshots to 
disable its feature that loads a new picture on each day.  I also disable the 
wallpaper feature, and I delete the sample set of set of pictures Webshots 
automatically loads.  Then it is a simple matter to choose five examples of fine 
art for each computer.  The art teachers think it is marvelous, and I enjoy all the 
art myself.  It is a "simple thing" that is one more way to collaborate with the 
classroom.
