In the past I had little interaction with the librarian. I used them as a person to drop my students off for about 45 minutes and then come back for my students and carry on my day. Occassionally I may ask to pull aside some books if doing a project.
Through researching the roles of the librarian I see them as a very useful resource in the school. I should be asking them to collaberate when doing research assignments. Letting the librarian know what I am doing in the classroom when teaching a lesson, and either they can use their precious time to exten the students learning or give me tips as to how I can make research either easier for the students, or the best ways to get the students interested in a topic that may be challenging fort them.

When libraries were first opened up it was a place where intellectuals gathered for research and a place to hold important documents as well as books. Librarians were the key holders of these books.
As time passed on the libraries were still helping those people find and locate information, by teaching students and adults how the library was organized thanks to John Dewey.
Though librarians were also getting frustrated with little students understood the research process and over time setup standards/guidlines to teach students about doing research whether it was choosing a topic and devour all the books one could, or being interested in a topic and gaining as much information as possible and running from there.
Librarians also had to adapt as technology was growing from books, to micropheash, CDs, to online forms of informaition.
As technology increased and it turned out practically anyone could write about a topic, librarians wanted to make sure students and adults became critical thinkers about the sources they used and so created standards for knowing reputable sites or knowing how to be critical about things they read.

The Library Media Specialist is the ultimate collaberator who also facilitates knowledge. They are the ones that help other people find information whether in the stacks or digitally. They must work with classroom teachers to also build the ultimate critical thinking skills. FIgure out what they want to research as well as how they may go about finding the information.

Andrew Carnegie was  a wealthy philanthropist in the steal industry and was a big influence in the American Indusstrial Revolution.
He was responsible for a surge of libraries in America, by building 2,500 libraries across the nation.
By building these libraries people had a place to go to congregate for free and socialize.

John Dewey changed some of the school of thought of the librarian.

# data[].attributes.body
During this time librarians were thought of simply finding and locating information
At this time Frances Henne thought that in the future "librarians integrating library skills instruction into classroom content and said the ultimate goal was the 'synthesis of information, the extension of knowledge the analysis and solution of problems, thinking reflection, the satisfaction of curiosity...."

"Resource Based Learning" was a popular phrase which was a way of including literacy principals in projects.

They adapted ideas to create ideas that were beneficial for teachers to help students on their critical thinking skills, since they are directly connected to young learners.

They were thought of as people who provided information for students and teachers.

Around this time more emphasis was placed on teaching students:

to use periodicals

searching computers for information

knowing the set up of a library

making investigations while doing research.

1988 teaching students the process of creating a research paper. (Strippling an d Pitts Process)

1989 Allowing students to explain their thinking challenges as they went through the research process. (Kuhlthau Model)

1990 Helping people to narrow their search focus with the essential Big 6 questions (Eisenberg and Berkowitz)

1994 California School Library Model wanted to incorporate library skills into the classrooms and then in 1997 adapted to also help the English learners as well.

1995 Pappas and Tepe Pathways stressed the authentic learning and research allowing people to want to question as they do their research and pick a topic that they were interested in. This model also had 6 steps to complete the process.

"To be information literate, a person must be able to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the information needed. Ultimately information litereate people are those who have learned how to learn. They know how to learn because they know how information is organized, how to find information, and how to use inforamtion in such a way that others can learn from them."

1) MInd of Media: People can learn by interacting with it.
2) Navigating: can navigate around learning environments.
3) Mapping Media Space: Can develop a cognitive map.
4) Visualization: Imagine the realities they are working with.
5) Creative Thinking: can use their creativity when using technology.
6) Collaberation: Can work together on a project
7) A Mind Primer: At early ages students can learn critical thinking skills.

Says that libraries are not just a place of books collecting dust on the shelves but it's a way of building a community.
People of all social groups, or status come to a library to congregate and learn; using books, or digital resources.

The library is not a place, it’s a concept. | Bill Ptacek | TEDxCalgary

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Community libraries are part of the fabric of a city, but they're as much a concept as a physical place. Changing our thinking about the role of libraries as a place where communities are built and sustained takes us beyond books (still very important!) to all the other ways that libraries can connect us.

He took previous models that were developed for librarians and wanted to spend more time around the students, and wanted them to spend more time find information in all different formats; reading, listening, and viewing.

As e-books and the internet gained popularity some libraris find their shelves less filled with books and lots of empty space. Libraries had to find a way to adapt.
Libraries tried to emphasize their ability to congregate and become a place where anyone can come to learn or just socialize.
1) Maker Spaces-here libraries can collect different technolgies and allow people to practice their skills on them.
2) Local Music Project- Where libraries lease recordings of local artists that a library card holding person could listen to on line.
3) Digital Public Library of America- Libraries also tried to pull each others resources to join online but uploading books to the internet/cloud that people could then check out on their own e-devices. It also was a progrect to collect various histories that people could brows through.
These are just a few of the many projects where libraries tried to put the information into the hands of anyone that would want it; young/old wealthy/poor each person is capable of accessing information and becoming more knowledgable about a topic of interest.
