Todd's article (2008)is reassuring in that data collected shows that teachers do want to work collaboratively for a whole range of reasons.
eg#.improved pedagogy
#improved delivery of teaching
#improved access to resources and librarian help
#building a collegial relationship
So even though they wanted the social and collegial relationship they also saw that this offered better opportunities for students to learn.
Librarians wanted collaboration to
# reach out more
#market school library services
#spread information literacy skills
#lead to being valued as librarians
#help them offer an integrated notion of library as part of the whole
If we accept the complementarity of strngths rather than the similarity as Todd suggests collaboration will be more effective.
