LM_NET: Library Media Networking
I have been following the thread of librarian titles.
Our district has a new technology plan and withing the plan it says "The Media
Specialist position will be upgraded to Information Specialist".
The teachers were asked to fill out a survery showing agreement or disagreement
with the focus and details of the plan.
I talked with one teacher who had marked that each school should have 2 full
time media technicians and .5 Information Specialist. When I asked why she
indicated that she was confused and through that media technician was the
"librarian" and Information Specialist was something on computer
troubleshooting.
For my two cents worth, I prefer librarian. Everyone knows what that means,
the other titles just confuse everyone. We don't need confusion right now, we
need to focus on what libraries need.
