Comments on: NYTimes defines the 21st-Century Librarian … or does it? http://blog.schoollibrarymedia.com/index.php/2009/02/16/nytimes-defines-the-21st-century-librarian-or-does-it/ by Kristin Fontichiaro Thu, 17 May 2012 16:34:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Pat http://blog.schoollibrarymedia.com/index.php/2009/02/16/nytimes-defines-the-21st-century-librarian-or-does-it/#comment-9638 Pat Mon, 16 Feb 2009 20:29:56 +0000 http://blog.schoollibrarymedia.com/index.php/2009/02/16/nytimes-defines-the-21st-century-librarian-or-does-it/#comment-9638 I picked this article and video off my RSS feed (hope everyone's doing that) this morning and also wondered ... I've been doing this for years now - what's so new? At the same time I was thankful for the positive image in a major news publication. You are right that it is NOT what we need to be currently advocating - we want MORE from our colleagues and students and I'm growing impatient. Another role for SLMS - liaison. People know that we can help to bring all the disparate pieces of what is happening in a school community together - we KNOW people and can be the 'go to' for so many things. Oh, one more thing, this week I'll be judging the student games for the Winterfest pep assembly! That's a new role!
