Communicating your worth

Everyday this week I have come home to news of teacher and librarian cuts. Librarian-ship is one of those careers that requires constant justification. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. It challenges even the best of us to always look for ways to improve our craft.

Even though I am not currently working in a library, I would like to keep adding to the conversation that will keep libraries funded and sustainable.

I am a visual person, and believe that a picture can speak louder than words. I hope to put together some graphics to tell the story of the librarian.

Here is the essence of what I believe. Information Science and Technology Literacy lie at the center of education. Mapping out the art of how this works is the next step.
