The librarian's second most important job is that of Information Specialist. As librarians , we develop our collections according to our curriculum and teacher/ student needs. The second part of being an information specialist is identifying and sharing resources that will support teacher created lessons and project based learning activities.
So as librarians we learn our schools curriculum and our teachers lessons , and we build out collections based on these specifications. I am constantly speaking with teachers regarding their lessons, and if they need support material to be had in their classrooms. I build project pathfinders ( series of internet sites based on lessons/ information needed ) that are placed on the library web page. Each time a class does a project, appropriate databases are reviewed
As librarians, we look for print , streaming videos, databases, reliable websites, and eBooks for students and staff. The addition of electronic resources add to our roles of information specialist. Resources of online databases and eBooks provide with further information. Instruction on how to access and use goes back to our primary role of teacher..
