A number of you have suggested that I search for my name which I have done, and even when I add "LM_NET" there is not that much that turns up - certainly not the number of posts I have created over the last how-many years. Perhaps there needs to be a subject added as well. I found my stuff in lots of other places though, places I never knew about so clearly, whether searchable or not, others beyond the list membership have access to what we write. One person, Walter Minkel, wrote about me in a blog post and said " Here's a great article by Barbara Braxton, a teacher-librarian from Australia who is a worldwide leader among those who want to encourage a heightened literacy among students. It's called "The Teacher-Librarian as Literacy Leader." While there is no way I call myself a 'worldwide leader' or even a 'local leader' it was flattering and fun at the end of a long day. So, thank you Walter. If you are in need of cheering up, search for your name, you never know what you will find or who shares your name. That in itself is interesting! I am yet to enter the OZTL debate, if indeed I do. The main arguments against opening that list are based around protecting our privacy; offering a forum to vent and offload; email spam (although there are apparently technology advances which protect this} and should we be expected to always share, allowing others to continually take. The main argument for is that it will allow others who are not list members access to our professional knowledge and conversations and perhaps help them solve problems they are having..
