This is certainly not intended to start a flame war between people of
opposing viewpoints, but Jill's post got me thinking. I have been
more inclined to let go of some of the more traditional collection
activities in favor of more interacting with students when
prioritizing must be done. I don't want to see myself as slavishly
connected to the traditional activities of a librarian (along with
the negative stereotypical shushing and book protecting)but Jill made
me think that perhaps I am going too far in that direction and more
time spent on book evaluating, cataloging, shelving, would be better
for my students than what I am offering now.
I would love to see a respectful discussion of our various
philosophies in this area.
