School Library 2.0
Chris Harris just sole the show with School Library 2.0. It’s day two of SLMS, and Chris Harris was easily the best speaker from the entire conference. His presentation was of great interest to me, and it should be to you too, if you work in a school library. His slides are available online, check ‘em out.
Here are some of his ideas that I’ll keep in the front of my brain when I head back to work on Monday:
>Make your library the “Intel inside.” Start making your activities noticed. If you didn’t tell people you did it, it didn’t get done.
>The Fixed vs. Flex scheduling debate was so 90’s. Library 2.0 treats the school library as a platform. We offer services 24/7 in a digital workspace.
>Create a rich library experience and make your focus happy users.
Chris rocks. ‘Nuff said.

Excellent ideas. I remember back in my school days that the library wasn’t terribly relevant but then again we never really knew what they had.
