Hi,
I am taking a class at University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center
and am writing a paper on The profession of Library Media Specialist. Hoping to
get some feedback on the following questions (below). Would love to hear from you
and get your thoughts. THANKS SO VERY MUCH.
1.What personality traits do thing are important for a media
specialist to have? An example of when that trait was helpful for you
to have in a teaching or working with teachers experience.
2.
What skills do you think media specialists must have, are there media
specialists in the field today lacking those skills (from your
experience)?
3. What are the your required duties as a media
specialist, which ones do you think should not be required. Which ones
are crucial or important?
