The exponential influx of digital content and mobile devices into schools begs for school librarians to engage in discussions and decision making about the selection, classification, management, and distribution of content ranging from e-books to open educational resources. As information professionals, school librarians should channel their inner Dewey to lead and guide the digital shift already under way in schools. Unfortunately, it appears that many school libraries remain resolutely bound to print. The author shares his opinion on Genre vs. Dewey, and whether school libraries are providing students with the digital content that they want.
