Not a week goes by that a grad student in education wants to know why the children's books, (60,000 of them) aren't arranged by reading level. oy. Lisa Von Drasek Children's Librarian Bank Street College of Education School for Children Pre-K- 8 610 West 112th St NY NY 10025 lisav@bnkst.edu 212 875 4452 >>> Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@FWCDS.ORG> 11/03/05 9:09 PM >>> Now, the recent comments have me thinking of the insanity that would occur when we (as librarians) decide that we want to help our students by arranging the library by genre (rather than alphabetical fiction)---but our teachers want the materials grouped by reading level (according to the electronic reading program being used!) Can you imagine how insane this becomes when we start to listen (and watch) those outside of our profession try to do (or tell us how to do) our jobs "better" than what we can now? We might as well learn how to roller skate (again) because we'll be "moving across the floor" to gather books if we start sorting things like this.... ....but imagine what this could do for our "Librarian Image!" Just joking, guys.... ~Shonda Shonda Brisco, MLIS US / Technology Librarian Fort Worth Country Day School Fort Worth, TX sbrisco@fwcds.org http://www.fwcds.org/campus/libraries/default.asp -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
