There was so much to read, think about, and absorb in the tasks of Thing Fifteen, I decided to remind myself that this is supposed to be fun. Life just isn't the same without Bob Barker!
First of all I could not connect to the video that we were supposed to watch. But in true Library 2.0 fashion I went to the Rollyo search on LRP and searched and found it and was able to watch. I couldn't help but think that the procedures and policies that are so much in place in public schools do not allow our students to take full advantage of the Web/Library 2.0 world. If students can't use a cellphone or MP3 player in school, checkout a laptop, check email, or have access to all appropriate websites, we are definately not "getting with the program." There has be change all around.
I read all the articles. I still think that librarians will always serve as a guide to finding information in whatever format it comes in, and we will continue to coordinate collaboration at all levels. As for the "Just in Case" syndrome - nothing will ever replace the feeling you get when you place the right book, in the hands of a student. Even if that book sat on the shelf for decades. It was waiting for that one reader.
