This blog was created as part of my studies - MTeach (teacher librarian) -hopefully here you may find some musings on education, libraries, life and studying along with generally witty and insightful comments (if i can manage any!).
Please add comments along the way. I'll be glad for any input, especially from fellow students and library lovers

Children's Libraries of the future .
As I may have mentioned before, I currently work in a Museum. There is many more cross-overs between Museums and Libraries than you may at first imagine. In America there is the Institute of Museum and Library Service - who have some great resources and publications including this great 21 Century skills checklist for museums and libraries.

I was further struck by the cross-over when viewing the children's interactive library. Many of the ideas and technologies used here are already in use in museums but could also allow museums to become more interactive, responsive along with making way-finding (like resource finding).
