My new view of the library

Overtime my view of the library has changed. From being the place is contains resources and supports the love of reading and resarch based learning skills ... to... being the place where it creates and supports information literacy. It is the core of the school values and the curriculum is taught and the learning environments have a transparent disposition where everyone in the school knows what is being taught (Henri, 2005). The librray can unify an information literate school community and support quality teaching practices. The librray needs to show the wider community how the school has adopted this ideology. This can be achieved by fostering a transparent learning community and can be supported by web 2.0 applications eg wiki's and blogs. The TL can be a proactive laeder and demonstrate what is being taught and how the school can become information literate. The school and the community gains freedom to share and re-use information (Lorenzo, 2007).
