Re: [LM_NET] School Librarians

[Paula Yohe <paula_yohe@YAHOO.COM>]

I suggest that you take an overall look t what is going on --
  You know that you provide a valuable service -- is fine -- but I would say that 
90% of your staff has no idea what you do -- and really doesn't much care.
   
  That is the problem -- so many librarians have put their heads in the sand -- and 
not see the big picture of what is going on
   
  Again -- go to the Bill Gates School of the Future -- 
  read the research -- there was just an article on folks who use bookmarking --
  Look at some of the textboooks for folks working on getting a degree in 
administration and see that libraries are rarely mentioned 
   
  You must look at the overall status of the profession =-

  I am frankly appalled that some of you (school librarians) would even think that 
you could become obsolete. What do you do all day?? I know that I provide a 
valuable service to our students, teachers and staff. Many do not have a clue about 
the information superhighway and the vast amount of information and resources 
available to them.
