[CASL-L] Golden age of librarianship is now!

[Michelle Luhtala]

I just wanted to share this piece in *eSchool
news*<http://www.eschoolnews.com/2012/08/02/five-key-roles-for-21st-century-school-librarians/>
 about Joyce Valenza<http://blog.schoollibraryjournal.com/neverendingsearch>
 and Shannon Miller <http://shannonmmiller.com/>'s session at Alan
November<http://novemberlearning.com/>
's 2012 Building Learning Communities <http://2012.blcconference.com/> in
Boston, MA (July 15-20). The presentation highlights "Five Things Every
School Librarian Should Teach This
Year<http://www.eschoolnews.com/2012/08/02/five-key-roles-for-21st-century-school-librarians/>"
-  the session's title - and its coverage in *eSchool
News*<http://www.eschoolnews.com/2012/08/02/five-key-roles-for-21st-century-school-librarians/>
provides
us with a great advocacy tool.

It's appearance in an online (and thus accessible) publication for
technology news in K-20 learning takes the message beyond our crowd of
"converts" to the larger pool of education decision makers.

The message is, "Librarians are more important now than ever!" It's a good
one to share with your adiministrators, boards of education, faculty,
parents, students, and one to emphasize during the summer months as we work
on curriculum develpment and start planning for upcoming budget
negotiations.

Happy Reading!
