Quote of the day, April 20, 2011

"First and foremost, the librarian 2.0 should understand the users at a deep level - not just as pointers and clickers - but also as end-users in terms of their goals and aspirations, workflows, and social and content needs."
- (Abram, 2009, p20)

This says to me that we always need to keep what we do as teacher librarians in context. And we always need to make that context about the students and their (lifelong) learning needs.
