Search Terms/Results

Librarian and Classroom Teacher Collaboration
Teacher Librarian Collaboration
teachers and teacher librarians

Also, I just realized I can search in LIS cross search, save the articles I want for later, and then import them directly into Zotero, which is awesome.  Sadly, ERIC does not allow this (or if it does I couldn't figure it out), so I emailed an annotated bibliography to myself.  I also requested some books from the library, so hopefully they'll make it to Edenvale by my usual Wednesday visit.

One thing I noticed while searching is the variety of publications that show up.  Librarians might do well to remember to submit articles not only to "library" journals but also to journals of other educators (ie, if you collaborate with a social studies teacher, submit to a social studies education journal).  The more we promote collaboration in those professional journals, the more teachers will view us as their partners.

Also, much of what's out there is focused on universities.  I'm going to try to stick to K-12 but we shall see--I know a lot of the research happens at the University first, so it's not that the research is irrelevant, it's just a tool for narrowing my focus.

Tomorrow, I read, read, read!
