2. CHANGE IS ENVITABLE
EVEN WHEN YOU THINK, “IT WON’T CHANGE: “
IT DOES
EVERYTHING CHANGES, INCLUDING THE
LIBRARY
3. KEEPING UP WITH CHANGE IS A BATTLE
A BATTLE AGAINST INFORMATION
“TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY MAN LEARNS IN A DAY
WHAT MEDIEVAL MAN LEARNED IN A LIFETIME.”
YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN KEEPING UP WITH
CHANGE: YOU HAVE LIBRARIANS
4. DON’T PRETEND CHANGE DOESN’T HAPPEN
DON’T IGNORE IT
DO TRY TO IMPROVE
DO TRY TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER
5. AWARENESS OF CHANGE
BRAINSTORMING IMPROVEMENTS
LOOK FOR BACK-UP: LOOK TO YOUR LIBRARIAN.
6. FORGET EVERYTHING THAT YOU THINK MAY
STAND IN YOUR WAY OF CHANGE
ASK YOUR LIBRARIAN ABOUT CHANGE
YOUR LIBRARIAN WILL WORK WITH YOU TO
MAKE CLEAR AND BOLD IDEAS TO CHANGE:
TOGETHER.
7. WHAT IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT IS
CHANGING?
LOOK FOR HELP FROM YOUR LIBRARIAN
YOU DON’T HAVE TO KEEP UP WIITIH EVERY
CHANGE: YOUR LIBRARIAN IS IN CHARGE OF
THAT
WHENEVER YOU SEE A PROBLEM OR A FLAW OR
SOMETHING THAT COULD BE BETTER, HAVE A
CONVERSATION WITH YOUR LIBRARIAN
8. SOMETIMES PEOPLE DON’T KEEP UP WITH
CHANGE
THEY THINK THERE’S NO NEED FOR CHANGE
PERHAPS CHANGE IS ONLY FOR THE ‘OTHERS’
TALK WITH YOUR LIBRARIAN
COLLABORATING MEANS IDEA-CREATION
9.
10. CHANGE CREATES OPPORTUNITIES
LIBRARIANS AND TEACHERS CREATE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS
CHANGE MEANS AN ENHANCED LEARNING
ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL
WHAT IF WE DIDN’T CHANGE?
IF THE ANSWER IS, “ SHE DIDN’T TRY TO
CHANGE,” THEN THERE IS GUILT
11.
12. KEEP UP WITH CHANGE: COLLABORATE WITH
YOUR LIBRARIAN
LIBRARIANS CAN HELP ONE SEE THE CHANGES
IN THEIR FIELD OF EXPERTISE
LIBRARIANS ADDRESS ISSUES LIKE HOW WE
LEARN (I. E., INCORPORATE CHANGES TO CREATE
NEW IDEAS)
