After a third reading, and two separate note takings, I think I finally have a handle on the Herring chapter. Good thing too, since we are writing a paper on it.
So, now to decide which roles I am going to choose to critically compare with the Purcell article. I think I may have to invent my own terms after all. And I think I will concentrate on the librarian as school leader, and information specialist. Though I was mightily tempted by the administrator/collection developer role as I read through it today. I will admit here, that that side of the role does have an appeal for me. I love books, and I am delighted by the idea of working out what my community needs, and how to fulfil that, whether with print resources, or digital. Fortunately Information Specialist was covered after admin in Herring, and I was re-engaged with that.
Of course, I could well change my mind several times in th next three weeks.
On another note, I requested several books from the library this morning, 3 I think. Somehow, the knowledge that I don't have to shell out for postage has made that an easier proposition. And I'll be assured of some packages in the next few weeks. There's nothing like interesting post.
