School Library Journal Summit

I have just returned from Chicago where I attended a wonderful "think tank" meeting! We were divided into 3 groups to explore the present and the future of the targeted topics: (1) school library media centers as they are and where they are going (2) libraries and literacy and (3) School Library 2.0 (SL2.0).

It was enlightening to see the overriding message from all three groups: the school library and librarian are indispensible in curriculum development and therefore, must learn to incorporate 21st century technology tools into the vision and objectives of the profession.

I believe that the listserv messages I have sent recently have not been received. I have had massive computer problems with my operating system and hard drive. Tomorrow I hope to get the problems corrected!

I leave Wednesday for the VLA Conference in Williamsburg. I hope to meet with several of you at that time. Please stay tuned to WVVA online (this blog) for further updates and info re the fall 2007 online cohort.
