Re: GEN: Realistic preparation for school librarianship?

[JRowan <bjrowan@MEDIAONE.NET>]

I agree. We just got a lovely student teacher who was so pleasantly
surprised to be told that the library, and the librarian, was a major
resource for her. She was so thankful she didn't have to buy so many books
for the unit she is planning to teach. She is from a teacher prep college
with a library media program. Why aren't they being told?
