Slow start, but the issue still exists.
The concept is based on the principles of Open Space.
'The four principles of Open Space:
• Whoever comes is the right person.
• Whatever happens is the only thing that could have.
• Whenever it starts is the right time.
• When it is over, it is over.
Law of Two Feet:
• If you're neither contributing nor getting value where you are, use your two feet and go somewhere where you can.
• Every individual has two feet, and must be prepared to use them. '

This group seems to have lost impetus. A group of librarian at Learning2.0 in Shanghai have just met and agreed to get online here. Let's get this discussion back on track. We're all facing change in the near future. Let's manage it rather than letting it manage us!

I have been involved in helping teacher librarians plan for the future, for the past two decades. I have written a book on the topic, http://lu.com/showbook.cfm?isbn=9780313288357
I am in the process of updating this book to reflect some 21st century planning techniques. Can I be of assistance?

Mansfield University Scholarship Program – Begin in January 2012
In an ongoing effort to recruit a new generation of school library leaders, Mansfield University recently received a fifth Institute of Library and Museum Services (IMLS) grant to fund scholarships for its totally online School Library & Information Technologies Master of Education degree program with school library certification. If you know of an educator or non-certified librarian seeking school library certification, please pass along the news that we are still accepting applications for the spring 2012 semester.
The Master of Education program, ideally suited for working educators
with no time to drive to a university, offers a convenient and effective path to school library certification. For detailed information and contacts please refer to the Fulfilling the Promise homepage, at http://libweb.mansfield.edu/promise/, or contact Cynthia Keller, Department Chair ckeller@mansfield.edu
