This class consisted of creating an immense planning, marketing and assessing document for a library program or service of our choosing. Many, many details of project planning were incorporated into this project. The host librarian I worked with, the librarian at our district high school, did not get deeply involved in the project but was available for questions.
I chose to develop (not implement) a program called "Readers and Reviewers" or "R and R." It is a voluntary program where students use VoiceThread technology to create multimedia book reviews and then comment on them. After delving so deeply into the project, I realize that I'm not so sure secondary students would want to participate or have the time to do so. It might be a good pilot test for the program to try to encourage participation and adding of book reviews by students to our current circulation system.
I struggled a lot in this course. This project was very detail oriented (something that doesn't come easy for me) and extremely time consuming. To be honest, I can't see how anyone in the library field would have time to plan something out ahead of time to this much of an extreme. I can see doing this for a very large or costly program or service that might be implemented, but the process is not very practical for school library programs.
