This is the introductory presentation I used for the whole day workshop that I ran as a consultant for Pearson. This workshop was run in both Sydney and Melbourne, for groups of Teacher Librarians, and focused on refreshing skills and knowledge as well as introducing and sharing new ideas.

Notas do Editor
- Spending the day together; so that I can get to know where you are coming from and your contexts; Your name Your school and whether it is primary, secondary or k-12 Three words to describe a contemporary library
- Library of Alexandria: As a symbol of the wealth and power of Egypt, it employed many scribes to borrow books from around the known world, copy them, and return them. Most of the books were kept as papyrus scrolls, and though it is unknown how many such scrolls were housed at any given time, their combined value was incalculable. The library is famous for having been burned resulting in the loss of many scrolls and books, and has become a symbol of the destruction of cultural knowledge.
- Facilitation – providing the tools, and teaching the tools to help students navigate Participation – being a part of – David Shumaker The Embedded Librarian: says ask anyone what a librarian does and they say ‘work in a library’ – if you don’t need to go to the library anymore to access information we need to change or become obsolete Embeddedness – become part of the fabric of the school – be where the users are, provide our resources 24/7 so that they can access us even when we are not physically available Proactive rather than reactive – initiating rather than waiting for someone to come to us
- Librarians aren't valuable because we know how to checkout books: it is this understanding that is seeing TLs being replaced by technicians: it is our skill in helping find the right book that will set the reader on a path It isn’t because we have the password to subscription databases: it is because we help students form the queries, evaluate the information they find, teach the strategies to use one tool as a jumping off point into a range of other tools It isn’t because we organise the books and know Dewey; it is because we help students and teachers to access the information via our catalogues, which extend beyond what is on the shelf, and create an environment where they are encouraged to use this information and data to create new knowledge and ideas
- We already have formulated lots of information to respond to this question; but the best response I have seen: Dr Steve Matthews, 21st Century Library blog:
- If you mean this; no, we don’t need it. But the library offers:
- List all the things on stickynotes that your library provides other than books
- Things are changing fast; Charles Sturt university - Information is the new global currency. It allows citizens to make informed decisions, provides business with its competitive advantage, and creates the opportunity to develop new knowledge and insights. The demand for highly-skilled knowledge workers to process, manipulate and analyse the ever-growing mountain of information has never been greater. We are the people in schools who have skills in this area. And it’s changing all the time;
- 204 million emails are sent every minute, while 47,000 apps are downloaded and retail giant Amazon rings up around £55,000 ($83,000) in sales. Around 20 million photos and 6 million Facebook pages are viewed, while we also watch 1.3 million video clips on YouTube. It predicted that by 2015, the number of networked devices is expected to be double the world’s population. It would take five years to view all the video content crossing IP networks each second by then. The role of the TL has changed; from accessing the information stored in the library, to teaching how to manage and creating channels to more effectively access it.
- And these are just some of the new tools available to help us do this Social bookmarks – Diigo, evernote, delicious, instapaper social networks – google plus, facebook Crowd wisdom – storify, reddit, buzzfeed, digg blogs and microblogs: wordpress, twitter, blogger content documents: prezi, slideshare, docstoc, scribd video: youtube, vimeo, ted Curation: paperli, storify, pinterest, flipboard, scoopit, Wikis: wikipedia, wikispaces, curriki
- Read broadly to defend your role
- 350 years of Atlantic leadership of the global economy, we will see the Pacific rise. At the very least, the Pacific will share that leadership. What kind of leadership will the 21st century require? What are the implications of this for for education systems ? The world is changing rapidly. Technology is transforming our lives. The skills needed in the future will be very different from those needed today. Education offers each individual and nation the best chance of navigating an unknown future – coping with uncertainty, adapting to evolving conditions and learning how to learn.
- Know how Know what Know when Know where
- Metacognition, thinking about how to use knowledge most effectively in the current context Applying the right type of thinking at the right time: sometimes a quick immediate response, other times researched, considered, sometimes thinking from the heart, sometimes thinking logically and analytically
- Not just to be the leader as in Napoleon: But to communicate, collaborate, defend a point of view, take different perspectives, make decisions Appreciate a multidisciplinary approach, work with people from different backgrounds, cultures, persuasions, beliefs
- respecting opinions different from one’s own; respecting individuals equally regardless of their wealth, race, gender, sexual orientation or origin; recognising the diversity of life – not just human life – on Earth and understanding the threats to environmental sustainability; Intellectual ethics, digital ethics,
- ‘...we are convinced the world increasingly will be divided between high-imagination-developing countries, which encourage and enable the imagination and extras of their people, and low-imagination-enabling countries, which suppress or simply fail to develop their people’s creative capacities and abilities to spark new ideas, start up new industries and nurture their own “extra”…’ p. 138 Friedman, T. L., & Mandelbaum, M. (2011). That used to be us: how America fell behind in the world it invented and how we can come back.
- On 10 March 2010 the then Minister for Education, Hon Julia Gillard, asked the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Education and Training to inquire into and report on school libraries and teacher librarians in Australian schools. 13 hearings in major Australian capital cities in 2010 and 2011, a bi-partisan House Committee of Inquiry published its Report School libraries and teacher librarians in 21st century Australia (March 2011). Change of government; few if any of the 11 commendations were followed up on; but raised the profile of TLs Recognition of the significance of both school libraries and teacher-librarians in light of: Building the Education Revolution (BER), Digital Education Revolution (DER) Australian Curriculum. Findings of inquiry: many school libraries are currently under-funded and specialist teacher-librarian positions are declining. Student achievement is improved by: Increasing the number of full-time equivalent library staff in a school Employing qualified teacher-librarians Increasing library budgets Having library collections that are large, frequently updated, and cover material in varied formats Having networked online resources in the library as well as in classrooms, labs, and offices Increasing students’ use of the library, as indicated by library visits and circulation.
