So we may have changed with the times, but it’s important to let everyone else see what you are and could
be doing for them.
Huge part of advocacy is finding what motivates your patrons or
future patrons.
Right now many people don’t value what we have to offer.

• We have to show that we are important. Duh. But how?
• Find an UNDERUTILIZED NICHE.
• If you don’t have this reputation as one of your building’s “tech gurus,” I think you ought to get cracking and start earning it ASAP.
• Usually not a lack of interest, just a matter of a lack of imagination. They don’t know what you offer.

• Teachers & administrators lack the vision as to how to use you?
• “You build it and they will come.”
• Create units and lessons and then go out and find teachers to use them.
• Often want to get started immediately so helps to be prepared.

Project Idea: Poll the staff about-- • their favorite book as a child or adolescent, • the book that kindled a love of reading, • or a book that created a vivid memory for them and why.
Project Impact:• Heard many poignant and heart-warming stories people
were more than willing to share• Started an awesome dialog• After they did one audio story, some people thought of
more and wanted to complete more than one.

1. Put out several emails asking staff to send me the title of their favorite book as a child,
2. Got the cover art for each book as it hopefully looked when they read it,
3. Uploaded the art,4. Created a new “identity” for each
contributing staff member & imported a picture of each person,
5. Informally talked to teachers about their books– would you mind stopping by the media center so I could audio record you?
6. Completed the recordings,7. Sent out the link & got even more
participants & still tweaking. . .

HOW WE HAVE USED GLOGSTER
![Page 17: Using 21st Century Tools and Ideas To Make YOU Indispensable (Winter Ed.)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681677e550346895ddc84a9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• DO NOT allow students to use regular Glogster for your assignments, even if students have a previously established account. Why?
• GLOGSTER opens students up to bad comments, language and cyberbullying from people outside of the building & there is NOTHING you can do about it.
• GLOGSTER.EDU can post assignments, monitor students & have free peer sharing
• I learned: It helps the staff & student training if you have administrative rights to re-administer passwords & usernames.
• TIP: Having multiple digital cameras for check out is essential.
THINGS WE HAVE LEARNED SINCE DEPLOYMENT
NOYES
![Page 18: Using 21st Century Tools and Ideas To Make YOU Indispensable (Winter Ed.)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681677e550346895ddc84a9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
LEAD BY EXAMPLE-PREZI
• If time allows, always demonstrate using your own examples.
• Teaching a lesson? Try to use Prezi.
• Web site link is: bit.ly/LMSPrezi Or go to the following YouTube link: bit.ly/v788MM
![Page 19: Using 21st Century Tools and Ideas To Make YOU Indispensable (Winter Ed.)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681677e550346895ddc84a9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Show them how much fun you have to get them interested.
• Show yourself using technology when you are “off” the job as well:
(i.e. social committee)

• Top Tech Tools PowerPoint available on my google site or click here
• Again, the PPT presentation’s underlying message often pertained to LMS.
• Street Cred: With very few exceptions, I created all of the examples.
• “If I can do it, you can too!”

Advantages:• Staff & students probably
won’t use it UNTIL they have a problem, but will probably look there first for an answer
Challenges:• Red tape just to get it up
and running• Getting students to
access it• Keeping it current• Taking the time to offer

SIMPLE WAYS TO MAKE THE MEDIA CENTER THE HEART

3. Give everyone a reason to walk through the door:
• Start a battery recycling program for the district and community,
• Barcode & check out tech items to attract more frequent and new patrons
• Have teachers’ baby pictures at the beginning of the year & a student contest to guess to whom each picture belongs
• Be inviting, active and try to know as many names as possible. This means also trying to chaperone field trips and proms.
• Don’t forget to have a good sense of humor! (Video, spirit week…)
• Have frequent contests that get kids excited and talking about reading & tech (Don’t forget the free ones sponsored by YALSA or create your own.)

4. Happily host events to get non library usersthrough the door. Yes, strongly encourage
your staff & students to use the media center for contests, meetings, etc.

REMEMBER WHAT I SAID ABOUT SENSE OF HUMOR?
![Page 39: Using 21st Century Tools and Ideas To Make YOU Indispensable (Winter Ed.)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681677e550346895ddc84a9/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
I’m not saying that you have to be a stand-up comedian, but a sense of humor can do wonders. It can:
• Alleviate discipline problems,
• Help you make a point, (Dewey the rabid bull dog I have chained in my work area loves to attack students who try to check out books without IDs)
• Endear yourself to patrons or cheer someone up (Insert your favorite librarian joke here.)
• What is the librarian’s secret password? Shhh.
DON’T LET THAT BE YOU!

HUMOROUS SIGNS LIKE THESE DELIVER A POINT.

• Shows what you’re reading and what you’ve read
• Photocopy book jackets and post it where students can look at blurbs and reviews

• We are already fighting against the librarian stereotype- you know the one!
• To connect with teens, it must be a media specialist’s goal to stay current on all things teen--watch, listen and read what teenagers are into.
• During the school year, I make a major effort to read only YA materials found in the media center.
• Gain in street cred & they start to come to you for recommendations as a reader
