12. Typical comments  Collaboration time is quite limited  They (new grads) are focused on “the” unit they are responsible for and have trouble collaborating with me  Please encourage them to utilize their librarians  We collaborate to a certain extent, but not frequently KASL Annual Conference 16 Oct 2009

14. Examples of comments:  Schools have teachers / librarians to teach those skills during weekly library visits  It is important, but it is difficult to balance teaching these skills with requirements for the subject area  I would hope the English and Social Studies teachers would be the leaders in teaching library skills KASL Annual Conference 16 Oct 2009

16.  School librarian, library, media specialists (majority of answers)  Technology teachers, coordinators  Local library  Search online, internet  Fellow teachers, education journals KASL Annual Conference 16 Oct 2009

19.  Students we surveyed indicated they are not well-versed in IL concepts (Handy 5, Big 6)  SLMS observation of new graduates corresponded to this finding  Students who completed the survey learned about these concepts and indicated wanting to use them in the classroom.
