requesting interviewing tips

[Michael Kankiewicz <MICHAELK@UBVM.BITNET>]

I hope to be interviewing this summer for a School Library Media Specialist
position in my geographic area.  I have just received my MLS and certification.
I have seven years "professional" experience at a major research library (here
at UB).  However, other than my practicum and special course projects, I have
never worked in a public school.

I am hoping that some of you veterans (and greens, too) could give me some
interviewing tips, or what to expect in a school interview.  What might be
stressed?  Information skills?  Educational trends?  Technology?  An even mix
of the those and any others?  What might an interviewer look for in a potential
school librarian?  Are their any expected social norms when interviewing in a
school that I might not be aware of?  Dress code?  What to bring?

Unless others on this list also want to see the replies, please respond
directly to me.  Thank you all very much.
