The Image and Identity of the School Librarian - "Stereotypes of librarians in popular culture are frequently negative: librarians are portrayed as puritanical, punitive, unattractive, and introverted if female, or timid and effeminate if male." In some schools, library and librarians are commonly regarded as a marginal clerical role...what about librarians being also involved in the centre of teaching and learning, establishing a new image ... and what can we do to reach this point?

Making Meaningful Connections between Public & School Libraries - How to reach out to the community and schools with the goal of establishing and setting up libraries.

Collaborative Action Research: Empower Your Faculty_ - Over the past four years WAB HS and MS libraries have worked with the tech-integrator to develop a Collaborative Action Research plan exploring the effectiveness of iPads as a tool for improving student learning. In the process, we realized we'd hit on an incredibly powerful model that places the library at the center of empowering teachers. This interactive workshop will look at our initial project/s, explore WAB's CAR model and discuss methods for implementing similar ideas in other schools.

Library to Libratory Vol. 1 - Yokohama International School is currently redesigning our PreK-12 library to make it a student centered space for research, reading and creativity. This session will share our redesign process, our progress thus far, and the resources that have supported our journey. A large portion of this session will be for participants to share about their physical spaces and discuss their struggles and successes. The goal is for everyone to leave with at least one way to immediately make their library a more student-centered learning space.

Principles of Design in Context_ - Designing a new library is always a great challenge, as well as a wonderful opportunity to learn, teach, and explore possibilities. As we have been planning for a Keystone new library for more than a year and it's still in the process, I'd like to share with other librarians about what we did, what we are doing, what mistakes we might be able to avoid, and what we can do better together with other librarians' ideas.
