I talk about
- the difference about "knowing about something" versus knowing "how to do something" and its relationship to teaching computer and library skills to elementary students
- the value of "stolen knowledge" that is to say knowledge that is picked up by observation from others
- the need to keep patrons' needs in mind when planning offerings for patrons
Thought For Today
"Do androids dream of electronic sheep?" One of my favorite book titles. It was written by Philip K. Dick and was the basis for BLADERUNNER.

You made some excellent point Debbie. I agree with you that schools should teach library and computer skills in a meaningful context. I also liked your observation that libraries shouldn't overwhelm or underwhelm patrons with an inappropriate degree of technology(shall we call this the Goldilocks approach? It shouldn't be too much or too little but, rather, just right?).
