Helpful Websites

Teacher Librarian is a journal that is in print as well as on the web. It is a perfect website for school librarians because it is specifically designed for library professionals working with children in grades K-12. Among it's pages, you can find relevant articles dealing with current issues regarding librarianship. There are also technology ideas and plenty of websites to use as a teacher-librarian. I used Google and Vivisimo to find this website, but I have also viewed some of the physical journals.
I also found this website using Vivisimo, http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/. This website is another library journal that is dedicated to those professionals working to build literacy in schools. The School Library Journal gives librarians current information to help librarians become instructional leaders on campus. The journal also give ideas on how to integrate literature and technology into the curriculum.
I found both of these websites to be full of helpful advice and information. I can not wait to utilize some of the ideas into my own future library. I also was not aware of some of the current issues facing school librarians, such as losing positions due to funding. I found several interesting articles about this situation in TeacherLibrarian. I also found information on how to make the librarian an integral part of your school community through these websites. I wanted to share these two websites because of the information provided on both sites.
