My keynote address at the Riverina Teacher Librarians, RIVPAT Conference on 19 October 2012. Loved the conference theme of 'Dare - Care - Share'!

1. Dare - Care - Share
27 challenges
to achieve our
mission
LYN HAY
Lecturer in Teacher Librarianship
School of Information Studies
Charles Sturt University RIVPAT Conference , Wagga Wagga
19 October 2012

2.  The challenge:
articulating how
school libraries
impact on student
learning
 Assumption that by
virtue of actions,
outcomes happen

3.  Move from TL „actions‟
to student outcomes
 Lack of systematically
gathered, empirical
evidence
 Barriers to evidence
building
 Evidence begins with
TL action

4. “We recommend that the profession as a
whole needs to
develop the capacity
to articulate needs
from research-based
evidence and local
evidence collected
in the school.”

5.  Acknowledged
international
research evidence
as useful
 A lot of anecdotal
evidence presented
 EBP takes time
 Documenting
evidence is critical

6. Change is
inevitable.
Progress is
optional.

12. “We are on a learning journey with regard to
pedagogy and technology, but this building has
given us many more options to explore…”

20. The power of persistent search
Persistent search allows you to enter a search
term once and receive real-time updates
whenever there’s a new result for that term,
saving you time and ensuring you’re always on
the pulse of what’s going on.
“If ur gonna use Google...”
 Google Alerts for searches
 Google Reader as an aggregator
 iPhone/iPad apps

Care

30. #2
#1 I‟m the most important because I teach
them to connect to all the
others.
#2 My students should learn
from me how to learn without
me
#3 My students‟ knowledge lies
not only in their minds but in
their networks

38.  technical-admin
aspects of
technology are
secondary to
learning agenda
 information,
technology,
curriculum &
e-learning staff
are „blended‟
 convergence allows strategic conversations

39.  Rethink how you
connect with people
 Keep moving forward –
that’s what innovators
do
 Leaders who take risks
but can say ‘No’
 The law of linchpin
leverage – 5 mins of
brilliance per day
