My thoughts on Colvin’s article

How does the content of Colvin’s article relate the school libraries?

  • TLs and library staff are knowledge workers rather than physical workers.
  • The school libraries are not machines but organisms.
  • TLs are to motivate their library users and encourage them to use infotech wisely.
  • TLs are to create, articulate and sustain the good value of school library teams.
  • By flattening hierarchies between school library staff, TLs are able to create the atmosphere of interaction and recognition and to build good relationships between school library staff.
