Re: [LM_NET] TAR: our name

[mhung <mmhung@GMAIL.COM>]

In Hong Kong, such a small place in the the whole world, we have the name as
"teacher-librarian" from the very beginning. the rationle behing is the
pre-requisit of a librarian in a primary or secondary school is a qualified
teacher with two year full-time teaching expereince. therefore every TL
should be a teacher before she became a librarian. librarian is value-added
"feature" of a teacher. therefore, i was very happy to be called as
teacher-librarian from the very start of my career.
