Today's student lives and learns in a world that has been radically altered by the ready availibility of vast stores of information in a variety of formats. This information explosion affords students countless opportunities and has dramatically altered the knowledge and abilities they will need to live productively in the twenty-first century.
In light of this onslaught of new information and sources, it is paramount that the learner understand the value of information as well as how to access, evaluate, and use it. The changes in the delivery and facilitation of information, given the new demands for information literacy and utilization, impose significant changes upon the traditional roles of school libraries and their professionals.
This course will offer you the opportunity to work with the upcoming professional roles of the new school library media program and professional, having "cutting edge" accessibility to the work being currently done at the national level to update the present national school library media guidelines. It will give you the opportunity to understand the integral and essential role of this educational agency within the learning community. You will learn how to plan for the future, making student achievement the center of your vision as you create a school library media program that will meet and continue to meet the needs of learners in your learning community.
