What Are You Called?
Regarding the most recent hoop-de-doo about what to call ourselves. I never stopped using the term "librarian." Rather, I think the definition of that term should be continually updated. I am happy that AASL gave credence to this! If you want to tack another word before or after, as in "school librarian," or "teacher librarian," go ahead with your labeling self! As for me, I am happy to just have a sign outside my door with that one word on it, a relic from my days in a school and a gift from a former student assistant.

Like you, I am a Librarian, with a capital L. And I'm proud to be one!
