Librarians in the Blogosphere!

In thinking about the content of our blog I decided to do a little research to see what other school library blogs were like. All of the blogs I looked at are different. Some act as an advertising medium for the library, highlighting new acqusitions and book club meetings. Others seemed to focus on fun and bring digital photos, U-Tube clips and music into the librarian's world. Many of the blogs focused on Web 2.0 and new tech tools for educators.

All of the blogs however provided a "taste" of the school. Just from skimming through the pages I was able to glean an understanding of the philosophy of the school and gained a glimpse into the school through a librarian's eyes.

Happenings in H.S. Library

The high school library space is becoming a bubbling assortment of research paper writers. This is the time of year the history department assigns mini research and reflection papers. As the head librarian, I love this time of year because the library is busy every period. Students are working individually and in groups. Even though we are a wireless campus which allows "have library will travel" availability, many faculty like the fieldtrip aspect of bringing the students to the library classroom to review search strategies using with Ebsco, Proquest or JStor. So watch your feet so you aren't trampled-- but welcome to the library and thank you faculty for not by-passing us and going straight to the Google super highway where traffic tie-ups are worse than a few trampled feet.
