James Henri
Day 9 (Feb 28) - James Henri - Up- side Down Teacher Librarians

I am so pleased to have had this opportunity to learn with friends old…and new. I am hoping you enjoyed these nine days and have also made new connections. I hope that you can see through the various technologies and the flavors added by the presentations that focused on collaboration that we can position the school within the library, as James proposes with many ‘upside-down’ ideas. It would seem that James wrote the closing remarks perfectly and I hope that you take those on board and start to challenge existing models of the school library and school or teacher librarian. 200 school librarians gathered here, virtually, to exchange ideas, to learn, to advance their profession. We can create change. Join us for the next online event, to be announced soon. Bring a friend and extend this circle to teaching colleagues outside school libraries!
 * Day 9 (Feb 28) - James Henri, Sandra Lee - Wrap- up**

I am entering these closing remarks, late in the day on day nine. I wanted to ensure the group had a chance to finish up without feeling rushed. The materials will remain until the end of April so I invite you to revisit this workspace to re-read presentations, discussions and the reflections of the international group who took part.



[|Your School Library, Part II]
The first Your School Library online conference – Transforming School Libraries with Web 2.0 – was held over February and attracted in excess of 200 delegates. According to participant feedback, it was highly successful in stimulating debate and discussion about the school library in the Web 2.0 world. Delegates identified the topic that they wanted to next investigate Information Literacy in a Web 2.0 world, which would look at the emerging digital tools but with a sharper focus. The second conference will be bigger and bolder that its predecessor in a number of ways. It will be held in June with some special presentations coming online in July. The majority of presentations will be in English but some will be available in Dutch (during June) and in Portuguese (in July). This inclusion of languages other than English will grow as future conferences are developed. Others may include German, Swedish, Italian and possibly Chinese. The main conference will commence June 13 and discussion will conclude July 5. The cast of presenters continues to unfold but is already impressive. There will be a wide range of presentations and delegates will have time to digest them before moderated discussions take place. Once again, the conference will be “held” on the collaboration website [|Sosius.com]. Delegates will use this as a base camp to explore the Web 2.0 world. The fee structure has been tweaked to encourage workplace teams to engage in the conference. Please take advantage of these special rates. Special fees have been arranged for participants from developing countries. Our friends in Germany, the Netherlands, and in Brazil and Portugal will be able to pay in euros by special arrangement. [For Germany, the Netherlands contact [|Lourense Das], and for Brazil and Portugal contact [|Maria José Vitorino].] All others pay by paypal in US$. Again, feedback from the first conference suggested that this arrangement worked very well and avoided all sorts of currency issues and bank fees. Please join us as we attempt to work towards a transformation of school libraries.
