Article from the AP: "School Librarians Adapt to Times"

[gary price <gprice@gwu.edu>]

Good Morning from D.C.

As I was preparing my weblog today I learned of this new AP article.

"School Librarians Adapt to Times"
Full-Text at: http://library.northernlight.com/EA20020129610000028.html

From the article, "The cartoon in Elena Rodriguez's office shows a librarian at
her desk behind a nameplate that reads, ``Search Engine.''
Rodriguez, the librarian at Gunston Middle School, gets a kick out of the
reference to Internet sites that retrieve information online. "`It fits so
naturally into what librarians have always been doing,'' she said.  The demands of
technology and higher academic standards are changing the roles of librarians,
creating a new breed of educators who can shift gears from ``Hamlet'' to HTML,
from Gogol to Google. Even their new title -- ``media specialist'' -- gives them a
high-tech aura."

cheers,
gary
