I work very closely with the tech guys in my building. They generally will keep me
informed of anything like new hardware/software coming down the pike, and I often
get preferential treatment when it comes to fixing my tech problems. I also help
them out whenever I can with updates, moves, etc. We are very much a team. I would
be lost without them. We have done presentations together for teachers and for
students and we often collaborate on policy and training issues.

is a student. Everyone is a teacher.

> I had an interesting discussion with a friend regarding the following.
> I would like to hear your opinions too:
>
> Do you think that school librarians are locked out / side swiped by the
> Technology department in the schools on many issues, such a
> administrative privileges for logging into the school computers,
> decisions to purchase software and hardware, etc. If it was not for us,
> I do not think that there would be IT specialists in many school
> divisions.
>
> I feel it is due to the innovative library/ media center programs in the
> past and today that the Technology departments at schools gained their
> road to fame. I know that there were always a Technology department,
> but they were more a technical department working on the school's
> administrative software.

> What are your thoughts?
