While looking for some more information on the roles of the TL, I discovered some YouTube clips that offered great advice for beginning teachers but also advice that some practicing teachers may find useful as well.
Annie, the librarian discusses placement and how she can be of assistance. Annie describes how she can assist with a unit template and scope and sequence that will allow the teachers ideas to 'fit' the school curriculum. Annie also points out that the librarian is essential to finding relevant resources to be incorporated into the unit.
Mary, another librarian states that the key to successful preparation is collaboration and planning with teachers. She looks at the 'big picture' and puts the 'little picture' into action.

Coming up to Internship in 2012, it did not even cross my mind to seek out the TL for advice. After watching this clip, I realise how valuable and underrated TL's really are.
