Reading

Goodness, it's late and I seem to have lost the post I was trying to post...hmmm...running out of words which is funny because my assignment is too wordy and I am taking a break from editing and procrastinating by posting. Anyway, loving EBSCO database and have found some amazing relevant and not so relevant resources to include in my assignment. Did come across this article tonight and thought I'd share as it does fit it with how my view of the role of TL is changing since this course has started. I agree with this Bently author when she says
“No where in my Master’s program were courses includ[ing] the instruction of reading. It did prepare me to manage the library, select and purchase materials, share those materials with patrons, teach information skills and research
strategies” (Bentley).

This is only my first course in the Masters but I am wowed - is that a word? that there is not much about reading and TL but so much about information literacy, technology and TL. Anyway, off to bed to read my book.
