Unquiet Librarian

First, I love the title. The stereotypical library is a quiet, dusty, unfriendly enclave which patrons feel unwelcome. Obviously this blogger is breaking these barriers as she tears through the walls towards the internet, ready to embrace (gasp), the patron.

Today's school library can not live by the stereotypes of olden days. Students need to be welcomed and encouraged to use the resources at their fingertips. Often curriculum centers around group work, and yes that does require voices since miming has yet to be a successful communication tool for most of the public.

But beyond the embracing of such "taboo" traits of a library, the Unquiet Librarian is a great resource of units for the librarian. Her monthly reports with lessons, video feedback, curriculum standards, etc is a great resource for ideas. Further, the Unquiet Librarian is a wonderful resource for what a blog could become. She can also use the information she records on her blog to develop, improve, reshape, mold the lessons of the future.
