contents Solo Librarians Working Collaboratively Nickel, Robbie School Libraries Librarians Communities of Practice Professional Development Shared Resources and Services Partnerships in Education Library Networks Library Services Meetings County School Districts Teleconferencing Video Technology Synchronous Communication The Elko County School District in Nevada has elementary school librarians that are "solo" librarians. Over the last several years they have worked to collaborate on meeting monthly--even though the district covers 17,100 square miles--and on providing professional development face to face and online. Sharing and collaboration help them to problem solve, meet student needs, and extend their resources. The school district librarians currently try to meet once a month during the school year using the Elko County School District's interactive video equipment. With sixteen school librarians in the district, their highest attendance at the monthly meetings this past year was nine. This year the librarians hope to use Elluminate Live!, a web-conferencing program, for some of their meetings. This software may enable more librarians to participate than in the past. The author concludes that collaboration and sharing are key to their library programs and to making them as solo school librarians less isolated.
