AcademicEnrichment 8

The librarian is the cultural key to implementing positive learning experiences in a refined library model for Dallas ISD.

The professional drives the experience.

A Cultural KeyA key role of today’s library shifts from a repository of information to a lab for informational literacy.

Literacy must be multi-modal

B Inquiry & LiteracyTomorrow’s library must be fluid, facilitated by systems which empower the professional to engage and instruct rather than shelve and manage.

D InfiniteLibraries are a campus hub for communication, creation, inquiry and community.

This is a LIVING space where user experiences are constantly changing to meet the learner’s needs.
