I spend time with my catalog because we have invested a LOT of money in great resources. If they are not easily accessed, we are wasting that money. I add lots of extra cataloging in this great digital age and as a result, my collection is heavily used. I call that a good use of my time in service of what kids need. Just to let you know, my collection is greatly out of date and my budget is one of the smallest in terms of FTE within my own district and group of high school libraries. But it has had historically the highest circulation of all of them. My peers here acknowledge that and I will gladly share any extra cataloging I have done. I know the collection very well as a result of the time I spend on it. My kids use it and have learned I can be depended upon to get them something good.

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.
