[LM_NET] Invitation to join NYCSLAN

[Antoine Bogard <FASTTRACK2004@AOL.COM>]

Greetings
      The New York City School Librarians' Action Network Listserv (NYCSLAN) 
is our very own independent forum to share views, information, issues and 
concerns about the challenges we 
face everyday. More importantly, it is also an organizational tool to bring 
us closer together in awareness and understanding as School Librarians in New 
York City. 
    Our Union, the United Federation of Teachers, has an expanded Negotiating 
Committee (some 341 people) in place for the 2007 Contract Negotiations with 
the DOE and NYC. Why don't we have our own representatives on that committee? 
We need to come together to formulate School Librarian demands to be included 
in the 2007 negotiations. 
   We have to come together to highlight what we consider important for us as 
School Librarians in the next Contract. Here, we need to take into account 
all levels, Elementary, Middle School, and High School Librarians. This is very 
serious. We have to revisit the archaic 
provisions reserved for School Librarians in previous contracts and consider 
what changes are needed.
      NYCSLAN needs assistance in building up a database of School Librarians 
to expand the discussion among School Librarians citywide. We would like to 
have your help in gathering this information from the School Librarians in the 
New York City area. Day by day, we are growing both as a Listserv and as a 
School Librarians' organization.
      If you wish to be part of NYCSLAN, you have to be a NYC School 
Librarian, and send us your name, school, a non-work phone #, a non-work e-mail 
address, and region to antoine2057@aol.com. Once we invite you, you will have to 
confirm the invitation in order to subscribe to NYCSLAN.
