Joyce Valenza suggests that pathfinders created today should be in the form of a wiki rather than a website. Pathfinders are essentially annotated lists of resources for topics. Valenza provides 10 reasons why wiki pathfinders should be used: ease of linking, are easily edited, flexible and collaborative, decorate with copyright-friendly images, easily create wiki index and are fabulous for exploiting new tools for integrating Web 2.0 technologies for educational purposes.
Here's a link to her wiki:

Teacher Librarians play an essential role in the education of students. I hope to change perceptions held by school administrators and teachers that TLs are a valuable and rich asset to schools.
