Skype session with Joyce Valenza

Look at what is coming in your door first, priorities are constantly shifting Make decisions and delegate, student volunteers, kids manage getting books back campaign, like laundry, it’s a work in progress and never done.
 * Where to start**

Fun learning, playing with a new reading tool, stop making the beds, do only things that make an impact on learning.

Permission not to do inventory this year, no one cares. Collection has to be in some order but not perfect order.

When you can make a super duper impact that your head or principal notes

Publish, you will get noticed

Educon conference – Joyce is presenting on the future of Research at this conference

Who do you look to to get credible authority on information. The tribe (new models of power) there is no guru. The tribe is moving faster than the national organizations.
 * Who is the authority??**

There is no textbook for modern library service. We are all creating not a textbook but maybe a cookbook that we are all contributing to. Shift from a grocery store model to a kitchen models where you share, hang out, make a mess, good smells, good feelings, community experience.

A //libratory// (the pantry has shifted) flash drives, head sets, cameras, student work, etc.


 * How do we market this so that people are aware that today’s librarian is a valued asset to a school?** The librarian has to be the expert to get credibility. If you can’t lead and be of value, teacher of the teachers, you have to step up to the plate. So many are dragging us down because they are not stepping up to the plate.
