Accepting the methods for creative evaluation, the librarian has an opportunity to give his/her best in accordance with his/her capabilities. Using self-evaluation, a librarian estimates, develops, and accepts new professional approaches and principles, trying to find new opportunities for his/her work and set new goal for himself/herself. The process of individual self-evaluation provides an opportunity for a librarian to perceive specific needs and create specific conditions in school library, where he/she can operate more effectively and improve the professional skills that are required. By displaying the best implemented activities, a school librarian self-actualize himself/herself. Displaying those activities that best illustrate the development and advancements, he/she exchanges with other experiential achievements that can stimulate the creative process and cooperation with colleagues, both in school among teachers and among librarians.
