TARGET>LMC's and Integrating the Internet

[Jan Wee <wee_j@MAIL.UWLAX.EDU>]

Dear Lm_net members,

I am interested in hearing your input concerning the changing role
of the Library Media Specialist and the hurdles you face as you
support the efforts to *integrate Internet resources* in your schools.

If you have time and are willing to share, please respond directly
to me, NOT to this list.  I will post a HIT when the responses are
colated.  I think this information will be useful to those of us
who are often found in the position of "training the trainers" or
presenting sessions at library-related conferences.

Thanks in advance!

Jan Wee
