I also collaborate a lot with teachers. It requires getting "out of your comfort zone" quite a bit and getting teachers out of theirs. I also have to keep the technology "fresh" and cutting edge to keep students interested.

Programs are also vital to a good library media program. Mine include a yearly author visit, incentives for reading (fluffy pens and books donated by bookstores), and a monthly reading club.

Each day is different!

Regarding School Librarianship -

I read a lot to do with books and story times in your responses which isn't surprising considering this is a list for CCBC, but the technology part of my job is probably more than half. I am involved with all sorts of computer task training for students. We are constantly applying technology to curriculum and we are expected to take the lead. I am also involved with professional development of teachers across the curriculum. We teach the teachers to use technology and supply great amounts of resources in every subject area. Collaboration with the teaching staff is crucial and on-going.

Ditto for me. The integration of technology and faculty training takes a larger part of my time (and budget) every year.
