Hi Tara,

It sounds like you face the typical dilemna for most librarians – too much to do, never enough time to do the extra things you want to do, especially personal learning. Based on the start you already have, I am sure you will be successful with your library. Good start to your blog. Here is another wiki site with some concepts and ideas presented in a web video based format. Happy learning and good luck to you: http://nsmjuly2008.pbwiki.com/

I am looking to be the best! This is my second year in a middle school library. I am constantly overwhelmed by the nuber of tasks I am asked to perform on a daily basis. Your list is actually an extremely useful and realistic list. I have mastered 3 of the 9. I am currently working on the blogging. If I could get away from the darn laminator long enough I could probably have mastered many more by now!

Deanna,

Thank you! Another late night posting earns a typo. I have corrected the posting.
Kudos to all those libraries and staff who work so hard to improve their libraries and communities….even in tough times…:)

The LJ article was quoting Donna Nicely, director of Nashville Public Library, talking about Nashville libraries being a strong agency in Nashville, not Memphis. The enfolding of Metro Schools libraries and Nashville Public Library was suggested by Nashville TN Mayor Karl Dean. Otherwise great post highlighting a real tragedy happening in many cities around the nation.

Check out the CD/DVD dispensing system made in USA for libraries. Already installed in many libraries across the country, this eliminates the issues of media management and security….plus it houses a complete self-check in it.

Check it out at: http://www.allCIRC.com …there are also some cool YouTube videos there of its operation.
