Student knowledge is a school librarian's raison de etre or reason for being. School librarians exist to help students become information literate, and to help them use that literacy to cope with the adult world. School librarianship is changing as technology evolves, and is moving away from a librarian being a keeper of a collection. We need to teach students how to analyze, synthesize and make use of the wealth of information that is presented to them daily.
School librarians exist to provide resources to teachers and to collaborate with them to help students become more information literate. We are the leaders in staff development on technology, educational resources, and services that enhance the overall learning experience. As a librarian, I need to model effective dispositions for learning and model best practices for a thriving learning community. My hope is that I am always there to help facilitate student and teacher learning.
