    Thanks for sharing this - I agree our learning environments need to be flexible and be able to adapt to change, This can be seen at this school as the Library & Information Centre (which is only 4 years old) is so popular with students we have had to adapt the space to relocate Careers here so that their student footprint will increase. Students like to study and learn here so it is having services that they need near them and adapting areas to suit this.

  • A MLLE is not just about space, it gives equal consideration to space and service. Confusion can happen when radical service redesign and delivery intersect with what we’ve known and how we've always operated. The MLLE movement has given traditional libraries a formidable challenge.
  • School libraries and librarians are part of this new education eco-system, preparing students for a vastly unpredictable and constantly changing world. MLLEs are where print and digital resources meet, as part of a smorgasbord of offerings curated to support, encourage, engage and make our students curious about their learning, and  foster and develop a childhood love of reading.

content curation joyce valenza professional reading

  • Librarians are uniquely qualified to curate. School librarians are perhaps most ripe for this function, because they understand the curriculum and the specific needs and interests of their own communities of teachers, administrators, learners, and parents.
  • We school librarians are used to critically evaluating, selecting, and sharing content and tools for learning. We are used to taming information flow to facilitate discovery and knowledge building.
  • Educators will also value help in gathering the tools they need for daily classroom activities. School librarians can gather lesson and rubric portals, nonfiction and documentary films, booktrailers, tools for regular classroom routines—online stop watches, classroom clipart, poster tools, game and quiz generators, etc.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Unlike other Web curators, librarians are not simple one-interest enthusiasts.
  • As school librarians we can think of digital collection curation as the selection and assembly of a focused group of resources into a Web-based presentation that meets an identified purpose or need and has meaning and context for a targeted audience.
  • School librarians might also curate for parents by gathering resources to support learning at home, explanations of new technologies, and instruction in transliteracy.
  • These learning artifacts can function as lasting tools for instruction as well as models for future learners.
  • Curation tools present an exciting new genre of search tool. Searchers can now exploit the curated efforts or the bibliographies of experts and others who take the lead in a particular subject area—those who volunteer to scan the real-time environment as scouts. They also present the opportunity to guide learners in new evaluation strategies. Who is the curator? Which curators can you trust? Is a curator attached to a team, publication, institution, organization? How can the quality of their insights, selections, sources, and feeds be judged? Do their efforts have many followers? Is their curation active and current?

    This article discusses the importance to customers of a quiet atmosphere in the library which correlates with a library survey we did last year of our students. We were surprised to learn that many of the students thought the library was too noisy. What are other schools policies re noise in the library

ebooks Weeding library collection development fiction

shared by Alison Hewett on 18 Mar 14 - No Cached
  • aggressive weeding project for our entire collection.   This initiative was driven by two factors:
  • having a vibrant collection with titles of interest to teens is even more important.
  • We printed sections of the bigger report we generated with the weeding metrics we incorporated and had our student aids highlight all books that had not circulated in three years in that section and then pull the titles out to the edge of the shelf so we could more quickly identify candidates for weeding.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • I think there are just as many instances where weeding can reveal some of the larger and powerful influences that might hinder a librarian’s effort to continually craft a relevant and meaningful collection
  • As we Tweeted some of our weeding insights (we noticed that our teens did not seem to read many of the Printz winners), we involved thinking from our peers outside of our building and engaged in some truly thoughtful conversations and debates with other school and young adult librarians about the purposes and values of award winners and how to contextualize the purpose of those awards in purchasing decisions.
  •   We knew that every book had a “story” in how it came to be in the fiction collection, and it was important for us to weigh each book’s merits together—at times, we felt very uncomfortable about this as we questioned what “power” we might be wielding and if there were more democratic or more participatory ways to do so
  • Our intent was not to devalue the importance of a print collection, but instead, we wanted to rethink how we approach collection development to better meet the needs of our students and faculty and to better support the library as a learning studio.  We also felt that getting “knee deep” into the collection would allow us to see patterns of usage that sometimes aren’t readily visible with traditional reports
  • doing a wholesale weeding where you feel there is administrative level support to be aggressive with the weeding is a very different experience from weeding sections for the purpose of maintenance and updating.
  • I thought I knew how to weed. I was wrong. I’ve weeded this very collection several times, but this time was different. I guess I just never realized how powerful this process can be and how beneficial it is to intimately know your collection.
  • Carving out time to do this sort of work ultimately helps us contextualize the work of our other roles in our schools and the ways a library might function as a hub of learning.
  •  The rise and availability of digital content on a particular topic through web resources, databases, and eBook acquisition also are factors in the use (or lack thereof) of nonfiction print materials.  
  • We also were able to identify pockets of this part of the collection that needed updating and began a new book order to address these needs; in some instances, we decided to weed the print copy of the book and replace it with the eBook format in our Gale Virtual Reference Library.
  • Alison Hewett on 18 Mar 14
     
    A lengthy article and at first glance it seems heavy, but it has inspired me to relook at how I will approach weeding in the future as part of a shift to an emphasis on digital resources and bundled resources.

  • Model growth mindset so kids can see it in action
  • Allow students see that you are willing to learn and try new things, even when they are hard for you, and be honest when you try things in the classroom that are out of your comfort zone.
  • Let students see that learning new things, taking on challenges, and rebounding after making mistakes are all a natural part of life and help train your brain to grow stronger over time.
