Teachers use the LRC/ librarians for resources

[Elfin]

Few days ago, my colleague sent me a mail and asked me to help put the assignment content on the VLE. I looked at the assignment and asked him if he would like us to create a resource bank on the VLE for his students to complete that particular assignment. After that invitation, he shared his SOW with us and so we started the cooperation relationship together. He is a Religious Studies teacher and I do think it's a very good chance for us to promote the library services for him and his students. It's the first time for me to work with RS teacher and I hope my strategy - from cooperation to collaboration, will work sooner or later.

Apart from that, an English teacher came to library and asked if we can do a structured library lesson with her Year 9 class as she thinks it is important for her students know how to use ICT and Internet for learning. I suggested if we could design the lesson with reference to her SOW so the activity students are going to do would be relevant to the assignment and make the learning experience more meaningful. It seems like more and more teachers approach the library for teaching and learning support. It can be a very good start to make the library as the heart of teaching and learning. WoW... it's fabulous!
