 **Classroom-library collaboration with student** Classroom-library collaboration allows students to feel welcomed and see the library as a place of learning. Students learn to become resourceful in the library. They learn how to cite sources correctly; how to do research and expand on techniques in all subject areas. According to Zmuda, the teacher-librarian will assist students in development of skills and strategies, including the ability to retrieve appropriate resources; extract and interpret information from a varity of resources; share information and knowledge in a variety of ways; appreciate cultural forms such as literature, art, music and drama, and function responsibly and effectively in individual and group settings (Allison Zmuda 2003). All the testimonials from the core teachers and elective teachers shared how the teacher-librarian taught the students how to effectively evaluate their websites and integrated technology to assist students in finding answers to their own questions. Classroom teachers ** Classroom teachers benefit from collaborating with the teacher-librarian by learning to better utilize the library. The library is used for more than checking out books. The teachers are able to present vague ideas to the teacher-librarian and the teacher-librarian expands on the ideas. School Librarian ** Joy McMcGregor, "Collaboration and Leadership," briefly summarizes a great deal of the literature on collaboration: the need for a shared vision; the different roles played by the collaborators; the planning required; the strengths brought by the teacher-librarian and the teacher to their collaboration; and the positive results. All the testimonials from core teachers to elective teacher shared a vision with the teacher-librarian. The teacher-librarian and teacher pulled their strengths together to carry out visions which ended positively. An overall testimonial of the teacher-librarian is that they are willing to help teachers and students. Teachers saw the teacher librarian as knowledgeable and resourceful, always willing to help. ​ Administrators see the teacher-librarian as having a global perspecitive for the entire school. The teacher-librarian academically impacts every single student in the school building. S/he then is able to work more effectively with the teacher and students. The testimonials of the classroom teachers were insightful. They give a clear perspective of collaboration between teacher librarian and teacher.  __ Bibliography McGregor, Joy H. 2003.
