1: Blog's Purposes

This blog will serve two related purposes. First, and more immediately, it will serve to fulfill the LS 5013 course requirements, specifically those related to researching aspects of information retrieval in school libraries. Second, it could also serve as an ongoing piece of professional development. After my first course in the TWU program, I collected interesting articles and websites, each of which could be linked to this blog for easy future access. In this sense, the blog could become a handy online resource. Right now, my specific area of interest for school libraries lies in connecting the library more closely to classroom instruction. This would combine my teaching experience with my library learning. While that interest could change, it seems like a solid place to start.
