Thing 2: Library 2.0

I love a good quote:
L2 is going to require a great deal of inter-departmental integration. In order to be adept at navigating L2 waters, the old fiefdoms need to disappear. L2 requires drastic and sweeping changes to our internal cultures and will require some form of institutional enlightenment.

I wonder what this will mean for school libraries? What do our "fiefdoms" look like? What sort of "institutional enlightenment" do we need? What have we already experienced? How will our new district CTO seek to bring this about?

One thing I would like to see is a wider use of creative commons for LMS/teacher lesson plans. We can't learn 23 new things every quarter AND write amazing, interactive SMARTboard lessons AND reshelve 2 - 3,000 books a month AND ....

As for "inter-departmental integration" - we need to have what teachers want and teachers need to want what we can offer. Both sides need to expect win-win, and not just complain that the computer lab is always full. (did I say that out loud? and in public??)
