I've prowled through the archives a little, but am curious as to whether any of you have any ideas to share with a new librarian at the high school level. I'll be meeting with my new principal this week to talk about long-term goals and would love to be armed with some great ideas for things you've tried (and that worked-or didn't and why) for collection development, encouraging students and teachers to make more and/or different use of the library, pitfalls to avoid, etc. I loved the recent post about a genealogy lesson and am looking into the feasibility of using wikis and blogs (my understanding is that our filters don't allow them but that sometimes you can get the powers that be to open access to certain sites). I'm thinking that it'd be great to see if there's interest in a student book club or teacher book club, student reviews of books, and things of that nature and have been thinking about ideas for book displays-- like the "Seen the Movie, REad the Book!" with a board/blog/wiki for students to comment on what they think of the two. Of course, I don't have a clue what will "fly" and what will flop, but I guess that's part of the excitement and I'd love to hear about other ideas from the collective wisdom. I'll be happy to post a hit. Ronda Y.
