How I Went Solo
• Education courses in undergrad
• 2 years at a Henrico Co. elem school as Instructional Assistant
• Grad school through Longwood (Go Audrey and Frances!)
• 1 year as High School Library Assistant in Henrico
• Student teaching and job search…
![Page 4: PLN Presentation VAASL 13](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548bed64b47959ec0a8b4833/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
And then..– Private boarding school in rural
Pittsylvania Co. – 1st Year Librarian renovating a library– Starting over after 30 years of problems
• No full time Librarian, no weeding, no YA, no fun, no usage
– I REALLY needed advice, help and to stay connected to other librarians
– Creating a PLN through online tools, Face-to-Face connecting, and pushing myself to take leadership roles in VAASL

books/technology/programming

ideas off

you to become better at your job!

FACE-TO-FACE
• No matter where you are, you can find real life library friends
• The best thing I’ve done for PD has been putting myself out there
• Vacation library visits• I’ve emailed librarians in my area at
different schools to get together for dinner, library visits, etc.
• Serving with VAASL- so many more contacts (and a lot of fun!)

1. Don’t get overwhelmed2. Do focus on a few good things not 500 so-so
things3. Do make some changes- I was reading blogs
for 2 years before starting Twitter4. Do think about what amount of time you
have to commit5. Do make specific plans as to when you’ll
work on your PLN- Ex. I read blogs on my phone while walking my dog
6. Give back! Don’t be a lurker. You have something interesting to say. Other librarians want to hear about your experiences. Don’t just follow blogs- write one. Don’t just join Twitter, participate in a Twitter chat. Don’t wait for people to come to you, be proactive!
PLN Dos and Don’ts
