I think I'm going to focus on TL/Classroom Teacher collaboration for my Literature Review. Maybe something like "How can Teacher Librarians best support classroom learning through collaboration with teachers?" or "How can Teacher Librarian/Classroom Teacher collaboration encourage the reinforcement of information literacy skills throughout the school year?" Basically, since it is not possible for the TL to collaborate on EVERY lesson, does collaborating on one or two lessons help classroom teachers internalize information literacy in a way that encourages them to promote those skills (and a standard vocabulary) with their students throughout the year? I'm focusing my research for now on collaboration.
Also: I think if I were doing this again I'd use a wiki, not a blog, for a research journal. Then I could have an area that was sort of blog-like, like this, with reflections and connections, an area that was just article summaries since I like doing them so much, an area for search terms, an area with citations of articles I want to check out, etc. A blog is not as easy to sift through as a wiki would be. I am surprised I think this since I've never really used a wiki before--one attempt with a group last year just turned into a big waste of space b/c we ended up using google docs more than anything else.
Just some random thoughts before I go do some research. :)
