- I'm barely surviving my first year as the librarian at University High School in Normal, IL. Even after six years as a high school librarian, a new job presents some tough new challenges! I love YA lit and library 2.0 goodies and try to bring both to my students & faculty.

- Hi Anita,
It's great to have you as a member of the BCC group. What are some of your tough new challenges? How has bringing YA lit and Web 2.0 tools affected your collaborations?
So many questions already....
Best,
Judi

That is comforting...somewhat : )
I spoke with Caroline yesterday after our 454 class about the group project that will be assigned for your class while I'm away. She said I could be in her group, if that's alright with you. And she could then meet with me when I return and give me the low down on the project.

Greetings Abeaman,
I'm Mike McQueen, teacher librarian and founder of http://www.GettingBoysToRead.com. Like many school districts, we are in a financial crises. Our school board recently proposed to eliminate ALL 20+ middle school teacher librarians and also cut all 90+ elementary schools to half time. Since we are the biggest district in all of Colorado, we worry this will cause other districts to follow suit.
We launched an online movement and are going to do our best to put up a good fight. If possible, please visit our Facebook page and "Like" us http://www.facebook.com/SupportSchoolLibraries . Adding a positive comment and sharing with your friends would help our morale as well. The board finalizes the budget soon so your timely support would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Mike McQueen

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
