 * "Fritz Dolak, D.A., M.L.S."** //Ball State University: Education Redefined//. Ball State University, 2012. Web. .

 I met Fritz Dolak through Ball State’s copyright conference, which he planned. We attended as a class and I learned so much about copyright policies that I can’t stop thinking about it. I may end up being the copyright expert at the school where I work (though I am far from an expert), and so I think he will be a valuable resource to continue learning about copyright and ways to educate my peers.


 * Harvey, Carl A.** //Carl A. Harvey II//. 2011. Web. .

Carl Harvey is currently the AASL president, but I learned about him because he is a friend of Kym Kramer’s and was a guest speaker in our S671: School Media class. He was dynamic and bright; I really enjoyed listening to him and have since enjoyed reading his articles. He seems to put into practice exactly what we discussed in class and have fun doing it. I will utilize his school’s library website as a model for my own school library program and also as a form of professional development because he links to a lot of valuable resources.

Lamb, Annette & Larry Johnson. **"Professionals: Kym Kramer."** //The School Library Media Specialist//. Annette Lamb & Larry Johnson, 2004-2010. Web. <[]>

I met Kym Kramer at IU because she has been my professor for two semesters. I am including her in this toolkit because she has been, to date, my biggest and most valuable resource in the introduction of school media specialization and what my role in a school should look like. Kramer is currently working in a school district, teaching at IU and in her district, and is always continuing her professional development through involvement in various organizations, reading a lot, and is currently pursuing her doctorate at IU.


 * Lamb, Annette. ** "EduScapes: A Site for Life-long Learners." //EduScapes//. Web. 24 Apr. 2012. .

Annette Lamb is the co-developer of the site EduScapes and the sole developer of the 8Ws inquiry model. She currently teaches at IUPUI. Her website provides valuable information about inquiry models, leaders in the field, integration of technology into curriculum, and so much more. It’s a lot to go through, and even though I’ve been utilizing the site for two semesters, I feel like there’s so much more to explore.


 * "Robyn Young."** //Avon High School//. 2012. .

I met Robyn Young when she visited our class, but I got to spend more valuable time with her when I toured her Avon High School facilities. She is an incredible collaborator; I was inspired by her input in our panel discussion in class and in watching her interactions at AHS. I would like to continue to work with Robyn in the future, so I included her here.
