Hi everyone,
I am working as TL at a Middle and Senior Years school in Brisbane, Australia. I have been here for 12 months. My previous TL role was in a primary school, so I have had to adapt to the different culture, but I am feeling more comfortable as time passes and the students get used to me. I am carving out a role for myself and have a lot of freedom to do so, which is great. Looking forward to being part of this group.

On the search again for another job. This system changed my original position from middle and high school to include primary 2 days a week. What some school systems won't do to save money.

Hi,

I am a media specialist at Westfield H.S. in Westfield, N.J. I love technology, books, and working with teens. Looking forward to "talking" to you all.

Been in the library systems for over 30 years and I have never had such a hard time as I am in my new position.

I am new to this site and to the library. 35 years in the classroom. This is half way through my second year in the high school library. I'm having a ball learning everything and getting back into the university scene. I have found out that at 58 I'm not the late night paper writer that I once was.

My name is Nathan, I work in a large high school in Sheboygan Wisconsin...ran into info on this site on Doug Johnson's Blue Skunk blog. I'm sure I'll get a lot out of this group. Thanks to whomever started it.

I'm usually the Teacher Librarian of large Gr. 8-12 high school but this year I'm off on education leave to complete my Masters with a teacher librarian focus. I have just discovered this forum and am eager to learn from others, especially in the area of information technology and Web 2.0 applications.

Right now I'm ditching bulky, expensive and quickly out-of-date reference tomes for paid databases. Maybe that puts me behind Mary Alice! I'm interested in the "deep web" stuff, but right now I'm cleaning up after a "librarian" who neglected the library for years beyond count.
I have several databases that the district pays for. They are mostly Gale ones, which I don't much like. I find it cumbersome to use, and it is unusable by students who struggle at all with reading. There is a newspaper/magazine, paid for by the New Mexico State Library that is useful. Even better has been a database of historical American newspapers from 1690-1922. Great primary source material, and the students get excited about using it.
I'd like to hear what others are doing. I've been wrestling with this whole reference issue for a couple years now, back to when I was a middle school librarian

Mary Alice,
Haven't let anything go yet, but I'm definitely thinking about it. Will review your files and let you know where I end up~
