The Connected Library:
A handbook for engaging users
by Suzette Boyd
ISBN: 0-646-46138-9
In recent times librarians in schools have come to be considered technology experts, curriculum leaders, literature gurus, web masters and providers of on-line information and professional development. They are also expected to be human dynamos, with energy to burn, to have a huge capacity to absorb new information, to have the imagination to deliver exciting new programs, whilst at the same time having the ability to maintain an efficient and relevant library service. Suzette Boyd believes this is probably still not enough and that the level of engagement with users is the real measure of success!
In The Connected Library Suzette Boyd points the way to:
- Building connections and trust with students,
- Communicating with and enlisting the support of all users,
- Being positive, upbeat and enthusiastic,
- Marketing and promoting the library through an extraordinary array of ideas and activities,
- Influencing the Principal,
- Becoming the cultural and educational hub of the school.
