School Library Media Specialists and Leadership

Five years ago I posted these questions on LM Net and received some
interesting results.
I am interested in finding out information about the successful transition
from school library media specialist to school administrator. I believe
that as a former school library media specialist, my training helped me
make a successful transition to school administrator.
Please help by responding to the questions that follow:

1- How many administrators out there have had library media training and/or
were former library media specialists?

2- Is there any research on this topic, or articles written?

3- Can you share some experiences or insights you may have on this issue?

4- If you have made the transition, what was most beneficial in both your
formal and informal preparation?

5- If you are currently a school library media specialist, have you
considered a career move of this nature? What do you see as stumbling
blocks to making the transition?


At the end of a week, I will post the results, as well as the 1995 results.
Thank you.   Steve Zsiray
