[CALIBK12] REQUEST FOR RESOURCES: School Libraries of the Future

[Judy Egan]

This article is from San Diego's free, weekly magazine.  I kept this
issue because of the inspiring article on libraries and how they have
changed with the times.  The libraries mentioned are public, however,
for those of us who are creating school libraries to be welcoming, there
are good ideas in here.

If you don't already have a copy, I would suggest getting this book.
David Warlick creates a scenario of a new generation of school and
library media center that I found fascinating and very real. It has a
lot of great ideas and helps the reader to see school with a new view.

Greetings all. I am part of a high school only district in San Diego's
east county region. In March, our District Library Council will be
meeting with our (relatively new) superintendent, and he has asked us to
present him with our vision of what high school libraries will look like
50 years from now. 

I'm not asking you to get out your crystal balls--I would just
appreciate any resources you can recommend that attempt to answer this
question. Don't worry about the 50 years part--I would just be
interested in articles/studies/organizations that are making educated
guesses about what school libraries will look like over the next couple
of decades (and beyond). 

Fortunately, our district residents recently passed a large school bond
measure that will allow for some remodeling of our school libraries. One
of our superintendent's goals is to do what we can now to configure our
school libraries "in the direction" of what lies ahead. Resources you
may know about on any and all aspects of this big question would be
appreciated--future technologies, personnel, physical space allocations
for printed books vs. technological access to electronic books, all
aspects of high school library design, etc.

What a wonderful resource we have in each other. Thanks for any
information you can provide.
