STEEP

A quick scan of my current library situation shows the following-

SOCIAL
-library used before school and at lunchtime as a place to use computers for assignments or games, drawing, reading and playing boardgames
- used as a STLA or small group work space
- utilised as a space for whole school meetings, committee meetings and special events and visitors

TECHNOLOGICAL
- access to the internet and apps through computers and ipads
- wireless access across school (although through different ports which is currently causing problems with internet access on ipads)

ENVIRONMENTAL
- school wide approach to recycling of paper and cardboard
- trying to reduce paper wastage and limit printing and photocopying
- students do not have direct access to printing- student work is sent through to the library office and printed by the TL

ECONOMIC
- smaller budget than previous years
- concerns about resourcing the new curriculum on a limited budget?

POLITICAL
- change in government / further cuts? Gonski?
- overcoming internal politics due to library transition from CPT to RFF

This gives me a lot to think about in terms of my own strategic planning for the next few years. How do I go about dealing with these currents issues and will these have changed in 3 years time?
