Streaming thought:
It is very suitable for libraries to become not only a center for
information, but also communication and media production. Use your
library space for related classes in media production. Try not to
reduce your library into just a computer lab and books. Use laptops and
avoid hard wiring. A flexible space is always used more and for
different things. Also, get your Xerox machines out of the principal's
office and into an accessible back room in your library. That's sound
administrative management. Unburden the principal's office so they can
concentrate on more important things. Communicate to the community
through video over the internet - BOE meetings and other things. Make
sure you have a very good web site. Invite the BOE to meet in your
library and learn how to set up meetings as in hotels and conference
centers. Make those meetings available on-demand over the internet.
Get a coffee machine and have a place just for staff. Many libraries
resist welcoming related functions and find their comfort zone is only
with books - and that's great if your district desires that - you may
however paint yourself into a corner. If we all work to widen our
horizons that would be good for the school and the students - not to
mention our jobs.
