  • 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.

  • The myth that all students are carrying a library in their pocket and “we don’t need a library”, as BYOD becomes increasingly the norm, does nothing to support, prepare or scaffold students into a world that will expect them to know how to wisely navigate and contribute in a world digital-by-default.

    Guidelines for displays in public libraries, but work well for school libraries too.

    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

    Liked this as an idea for a library based school poetry day - Poem in Your Pocket Day to share with others throughout the day after researching a poem in the library. A previous site referred to a new book 'Firefly July and Other Very Short Poems' by Paul B Janeczko (Candlewick) coming out soon.

Collection Weeding as Dendrochronology: Rethinking Practices and Exposing a Library's S... - 2 views

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.
  • 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
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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.

    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.

    So many of us are guilty of some of these things, though I hope none of us are spending our own money.
