  • Diigo is a powerful information capturing, storing, recalling and sharing tool. Here are just a few of the possibilities with Diigo: Save important websites and access them on any computer. Categorize websites by titles, notes, keyword tags, lists and groups. Search through bookmarks to quickly find desired information. Save a screenshot of a website and see how it has changed over time. Annotate websites with highlighting or virtual "sticky notes." View any annotations made by others on any website visited. Share websites with groups or the entire Diigo social network. Comment on the bookmarks of others or solicit comments to your shared bookmarks.

  • Q: What do school librarians need to understand about the standards?
  • Librarians need to be the gurus of CCS. They need to know the CCS inside out.
  • These standards are interdisciplinary, and it is school librarians who can help teachers make connections among courses. It seems to me that the role of school librarians, more than ever, is one of leader, designer, and educator. They will need to insert themselves on curriculum committees, department meetings, grade level, and team meetings with the focus being how the library can connect all of the disciplines.

  • With the CCS, school librarians can have new power.
  • take the leadership role in their schools and districts and show that what they do is embedded in the CCS and that they can provide information, connections, and instruction to make the interdisciplinary aspects of learning meaningful for students
  • It's time for school librarians to stop whining about being left out and step up to the new plate and hit a homerun.
  • What should school librarians be doing to be a part of the conversation? A: School librarians have to know and understand CCS and not stay back and wait to be asked to help or participate. They have to be assertive and let teachers and administrators know what they can do to help teachers work through the standards. They need to make sure that they are seen as teachers and educators not just book purveyors.
  • Q: Does that mean that professional development for school librarians needs to emphasize collaboration and strategic planning for student learning? A: Yes, if you mean that school librarians have to speak the same language and have the same learning goals as classroom teachers. Everyone in the school must focus their energy on the achievement of the CCS.
  • More than ever school librarians have to work with teachers on their standards, not separate library standards.
  • Remember, the CCS embed the traditional library learning goals into the subject areas. They can brush-up on their collaboration strategies and review the classroom curricula. There are tools that school librarians can use to make connections.
  • I really believe these standards offer school librarians a golden opportunity to become integrated into the educational landscape of the school.

  • With a coming wave of new digital reading products designed to improve aptitude and provide unlimited access to online libraries, school districts have various options to help bring 21st-century learning in the classroom.
  • Some teachers and librarians say that digital reading products can personalize learning for struggling students and help interest young readers in nonfiction books, which are a major component in the Common Core State Standards Initiative designed to strengthen current state standards. As school districts across the country struggle under the weight of budget cuts, however, school administrators will need to be creative in finding funding sources.
  • “Librarians will always be an essential part of a school, but we’ll have to become more technologically savvy,” he says. “It’s all part of the evolution. [Technology] is another tool we can utilize to get more kids reading.”

Yet in many American classrooms and homes, these high-tech tools are severely limited or forbidden. Teachers and parents wonder: What are students doing with these technologies?

  • Going Out of Print School libraries of the future could be light on books and heavy on digital resources.
  • To what extent will public school libraries morph into digital media centers where paper books are merely a side dish and e-books are the main course?

  • “What’s needed is a wiki-type virtual space where kids can debate, upload videos and control their own information space instead of us trying to manage the information space,” Loertscher says.
  • For David Loertscher, Library 2.0 advocate and author of The New Learning Commons, these changes are overdue. “There is still a tremendous role for books,” he says. “There will always be print books.” However, his ideal library—the learning commons—is “a learning laboratory where books don’t get in the way.” He wants the bookshelves pushed to the perimeter so central spaces can better accommodate groups of learners (see sidebar). Loertscher believes that “the old model of having the kids check out a book and then sending them back to the classroom doesn’t amount to a hill of beans. Kids can now check out digital resources any time, anywhere. … That is the way the world is going.”
  • “Today’s library is a learning space, not a … book museum.”
