Being able to contact a large number of people connected to libraries in a single e-mail.... that is what CALIBK12 is all about. If you have a question or are looking for a resource, all you need to do is post what you need on CALIBK12.
After being signed up for a day, I got my first e-mail from the listserv. It was a teacher from Aptos looking for a gentleman who used to work for Sagebrush. So far no one else has replied. So I am waiting on bated breath to see if CALIBK12 works for her.
I was a bit apprehensive to sign up because it sounds like a steady stream of e-mails come from this particular listserv. I suspect because of summer being here and most schools are out on vacation that the volume will be reduced.
Besides being apprehensive to join the listserv, the next emotion I had was intimidation. What if I mess up when I post or say the wrong thing. There isn't any practice posts... It will be interesting to follow the dialogue over the summer. If nothing better, I can always keep my Google account for CALIBK12 and other similar library related stuff. That way my main e-mail address will not be inundated with library e-mails.
Professionally, CALIBK12 will allow me stay connected to current events in the library world. As I get more versed on the scope of the site and the resources it possibly can provide, I can become a better librarian because I will be more informed with current situations in and around California libraries.
