21st Century School Librarian
After reading this post it makes me realise what a huge couple of years we have in front of us as information professionals. I am submitting a budget at school which will appeal to the principal to give the library budget more money to buy more books in the areas of the cross curriculum priorities such as Asian and sustainability. We already have a more than adequate number of books regarding aborigines.
This will be my first budget submission so I have drawn on the help of the members of the TL listserv. As always, they have been very generous with their assistance and advice, volunteering their own budget submissions to help me.
Less than two years on and it is interesting to read my old post. As a result of that budget request I did get more money for resources. They were badly needed to assist with the implementation of the new NSW syllabus for the Australian curriculum. It looks like the budget for 2014 has been slashed as the new funding arrangements for NSW schools has decreased the amount we normally receive substantially.
