[LM_NET] : TARGET: librarians and curricular planning

[Lisa Gonzalez <lgonzalez@NOTREDAMESALINAS.ORG>]

Hello LM_Netters,
I need some quick advice.  I know I've read many times before about the importance 
of school librarians being on the committee that does curricular planning and makes 
those types of decisions.  I've been at my current school for two years and was not 
allowed to participate before despite my protests.  We have a new administration 
now and I just submitted my request to attend, saying that it will help me make 
more informed decisions about purchases and also give me opportunities to 
collaborate with teachers.  The VP wrote me back saying there might be "more 
efficient ways" for me to use my time instead of attending.

Can anyone give me advice/research/position statements from professional 
organizations I can use to support my request?  I'll post a HIT.  Thanks in advance!
