__** Reflection and Aspirations **__

"Every day, we are inundated with vast amounts of information. A 24-hour news cycle and thousands of global television and radio networks, coupled with an immense array of online resources, have challenged our long-held perceptions of information management. Rather than merely possessing data, we must also learn the skills necessary to acquire, collate, and evaluate information for any situation. This new type of literacy also requires competency with communication technologies, including computers and mobile devices that can help in our day-to-day decisionmaking". (Barack Obama, 2009)

That realisation being that the role of the teacher-librarian is so complex. The role needs to continually change, alter and adapt to this ever-changing world we live in as we develop 'new literacies'.

Through my experiences as a classroom teacher and also my situated professional practice I am learning what I do and don’t want to see happening in a library of my own. As a future teacher-librarian I would like to spend time building and maintaining my connections with teachers. I’d like to be seen as a leader and a colleague, someone who works alongside teachers, supporting, guiding, and inspiring them. I also aspire to work towards recognition of my role and abilities as a teacher, librarian, a curriculum leader and a resource manager. I will ensure that I collaborate with all teachers. Through this collaboration, I will also work with teachers on teaching information literacy and ICT literacy skills in an integrated and authentic way. I will work towards ensuring that all staff are offered training and professional development in the appropriate use of ICTs, so that these are used in an integrated fashion to improve students’ ICT literacies and general learning outcomes. Learning for the Future (2001) advises that new ways of teaching and learning are reflected in the use of new ICTs and resources. I endeavour to adopt new technologies quickly and find ways to integrate their use into my teaching strategies.

I will do my best to involve the school and community in the happenings of the library, to show teachers and parents that there is more to a school library than books and overdue notices! I will ensure, within the bounds of the physical space available, that my library is welcoming, interesting and <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; language: en-AU; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: en-AU; mso-arabic-font-family: Arial; mso-armenian-font-family: Arial; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-asciisym-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-bengali-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-bopomofo-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-braille-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-canadianabor-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-cherokee-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-currency-font-family: Arial; mso-cyrillic-font-family: Arial; mso-default-font-family: Arial; mso-devanagari-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-ethiopic-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-eudc-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-georgian-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-greek-font-family: Arial; mso-gurmukhi-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-halfwidthkana-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-han-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-hangul-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-hansurrogate-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-hebrew-font-family: Arial; mso-kana-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-kannada-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-khmer-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-lao-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-latin-font-family: Arial; mso-latinext-font-family: Arial; mso-malayalam-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-mongolian-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-myanmar-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-nonhansurrogate-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-ogham-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-oriya-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-runic-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-sinhala-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-syriac-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-tamil-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-telugu-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-thaana-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-thai-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-tibetan-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-yi-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn;">useable <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; language: en-AU; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: en-AU; mso-arabic-font-family: Arial; mso-armenian-font-family: Arial; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-asciisym-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-bengali-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-bopomofo-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-braille-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-canadianabor-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-cherokee-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-currency-font-family: Arial; mso-cyrillic-font-family: Arial; mso-default-font-family: Arial; mso-devanagari-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-ethiopic-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-eudc-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-georgian-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-greek-font-family: Arial; mso-gurmukhi-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-halfwidthkana-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-han-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-hangul-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-hansurrogate-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-hebrew-font-family: Arial; mso-kana-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-kannada-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-khmer-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-lao-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-latin-font-family: Arial; mso-latinext-font-family: Arial; mso-malayalam-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-mongolian-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-myanmar-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-nonhansurrogate-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-ogham-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-oriya-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-runic-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-sinhala-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-syriac-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-tamil-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-telugu-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-thaana-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-thai-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-tibetan-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn; mso-yi-font-family: Frutiger-BoldCn;"> to, and by, students, staff and the wider community.
