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

Library policy help and morals (again)

As i was trying to get stuck into this assignment, I came across the UK publication of Primary School Guidelines. See below.

Its quite a good little publication and i wish I had it prior to doing  ETL503 the Library policy.

So, to the question of moral purpose again ... Fullan has suggested that this includes a plan to make a difference - that is, intend to do something 'good' that will improve our 'clients' -  in this instance planning to do something that will increase a persons' ability to use information successfully (Wizenreid, 2010).
So I guess I have to concede that in this context we do have a moral purpose - albeit one that is not used in the traditional sense of "moral".
