Pleading to change the perceptions that others have on what libraries are and what role they should play. It sounds like a worthy project to undertake! I am excited to roll my sleeves up and start to produce a webpage targeted toward my fellow neighbors that would let them in on how important and strategic libraries should be in this digital age. I am sure it will assist me in organizing my thoughts more coherently and in establishing a plan for the real defense that I will have to take on in August before the Boards! Even my sons kid me about having switched to becoming a librarian. Being so engrossed in technology as they are, they still do not seem to get that what I did as a Technology Coordinator concerning the instructional objectives are not different with what I will be doing as a librarian. I knwo they will be my first and best critics.
The goal to design a page that has as an audience the people of my city makes me square my shoulders as I see how this project might evolve into something of social significance. The city has made efforts to update its departmental library but I believe the focus has only been on the architectural aspects of the buliding and its interior design. This is the sole library of thousands of children who go to public schools and it deserves to evolve into a 21st century information media center! Perhaps I could personally volunteer some of my time and contribute to this cause with what I am learning now.
Horizons continously expand.
