Your voice needed: Participate in building our guidelines
We need your quotes, your call outs, your soundbites!
Please help the AASL Guidelines Taskforce by adding your own voices from the field. Our new document (the one planned to follow Information Power and incorporate our new standards) will include quotes from library practitioners. We are looking for both practical and visionary ideas on a wide range of topics from instruction to collaboration to technology to management and beyond.
What do you want our field, and the rest of the universe to know about our work, our mission?
Here’s a little description of what we are looking for from Cassie Mayer, our team writer:
AASL has gathered a committee of dedicated practitioners to create the new guidelines for the school library media program. In an effort to ensure that the document reflects voices from the field, we are asking for responses to the question, What’s it like to be a school librarian in the 21st century? Responses could be one-sentence statements or stories on any subject that addresses an aspect of this question, such as the effects of Web 2.0 (and beyond) on your students and your program, outstanding examples of collaborative projects, or challenges faced by budget restrictions in a time of need for expanding library services. We’d greatly appreciate your thoughts as we work to put together this vital document!
