Hi folks,

I believe Anita has hit on a vital element to any reading (off- or on-line)
we do in the library.

My rules about on the job reading have always been to:

1. Read at my desk (no slouching in the bean bag chairs)
2. Read with a pen and paper my hand
3. Read materials related to my job
4. Never, never, never be seen leaving my building without a bag o' work
(just like the other teachers)
5. Always be aware that perceptions are as important as reality

Many of us have one of the few positions in our buildings with discretionary
resources - time, budgets, and duties, and therefore need to be
extra-transparent about how we "spend" those resources.

All the very best,

Doug
