It took me 20 minutes to get into this - I must be doing something so wrong but for some unknow reason it finally worked.
Found the history of Australian sschool libraries very interesting - did not realise the history of the federal funding to create/enhance school libraries from the 1960s on.
Readings from Ludin, R 1981 and Hazell, A 1990 have enlightened me but also depressed.
So much in my environment has not improved. Seems still to depend on the individual principal's point of view as to whether primary schools, in particular, have a fully functional library and a teacher librarian.
With respect to readings in Topic 6 - a lot of readings make me feel that common sense about organisation in the work place is so important. I know it can be expressed in writing by academic people, but in the work place, as I am a full time mother and wife (those are not part time jobs), I teach full time (and I know 12 weeks holiday or down time is mine but that involves a huge amount of preparation and indeed interest in finding better ways to do things) as well a variety of activities outside home and work life, common sense in organisation comes from experience and trial and error.
