The book is great too! I used it as the main source for an assignment. By the way, we just added wall tiles to a wall in our library and the effect is fantastic. We plan to attach art work for exhibitions.
Thanks Julie, great article - don't you just love the edutopia site? So much to explore - so well done.
Cheers,
Cathy
Part of my T-L course involved 'Designing Spaces for Learning' and I found the writing of Prakash Nair & Randall Fielding particularly useful. (There is a book, I think) I noticed a recent article which might be a starting point of sorts:

- Describe your school library:
- A very small independent primary school -- with a very enthusiastic student population.
- About Me:
- Originally from Canada where I did my teacher training, I'm currently the teacher-in-the-library studying M.Ed at CSU distance. I've been running the library for one year officially, but two really after begging to take over the 'abandoned room full of books' (eeek!)
- Don't be modest...list two strengths you bring to the role of teacher-librarian:
- Infinite curiosity that I hope rubs off on the students and staff and a personal philosophy that 'there is more than one way to skin a cat'.
- How large is your library team?
- Me, myself and I - on a part-time basis

Cate said… - Hi Cathy, Thanks for your greeting and invitation! The photo was the best I could find from the school computer. I appreciate you allowing me to connect with Vic TLs. Our job's so isolated isn't it. I've been used to bouncing ideas off my colleagues as a classroom tchr for years.
Best wishes for your changes and challenges :-)

- I'd be interested as well. I looked at both online but then met a student from CSU just finishing up her placement. We talked at length and she introduced me to the OZTL_NET forum. She was so positive about the course, I was convinced! I've only finished two units/subjects so far -- The Role of the TL and Literature in Education.

- Welcome aboard, Cathy. Good on you for taking on the 'room full of books' and making something out of them. I finished my masters (Learning Innovation: Teacher-librarianship) at QUT 2 years ago. I'd be interested in finding out how our courses differ.
