My first day back in a library was great. Met a lot of great kids. We have some really prolific readers with some pretty eclectic tastes. I love that!
Other than that, got my online calendar set up so that teachers can schedule library time via the website. I also created an online collaboration form. That should really simplify things for planning. I hope it does anyway.
I'm going to announce my plans for the library advisory committee today. I'll post how well it went…

Today is my first day back. I'm really excited. There is so much to do here, but it should be a lot of fun. First major thing I need to get done is create my library advisory committee. After that, we will really need to update my vision and mission. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

I'm going to spend my first blog talking about two tools I like. The first is Bloglines.com. If you are new to RSS, this is a great place to start. I follow about ten different blogs from this site. It makes it easy for me to keep up with my favority topics without having to look in different places.
Another tool that I'm really starting to like is Moodle. Moodle is an open-source classroom management system that allows you to offer classes online. I'm still developing some…

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

Greetings Ross,
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

Keep up the good fight, Mike. I'm sorry to hear that. I know there have been similar proposals in districts across Texas, but we haven't had such a proposal in my district yet. My district did cut the Instructional Specialists' positions last year. Some of the schools were able to keep them, but as I understand it, it was a campus decision. Please keep me informed.
