This handbook provides librarians and technology specialists with
the tools to understand the issues and challenges related to their
counterparts' jobs, and find ways to work together for the
betterment of all concerned. School Librarians and the Technology
Department: A Practical Guide to Successful Collaboration was
inspired by the authors' collective realization that far too often
librarians and technology specialists fail to collaborate
successfully, and sometimes even find their groups at odds with one
another. This book is the antidote: it is a powerful call to
establish and improve relationships between the two for the benefit
of the students as well as the librarians and technology
specialists themselves. The book begins by providing background
information about the history of librarianship and the use of
computer technology in schools. The authors trace the origins of
the positions related to educational technology, such as
"technology specialist," "teacher," and "director." The following
chapters describe and address specific concerns of both librarians
and technology specialists. Most importantly, this collaborative
work offers practical suggestions for cooperation between these two
groups of educators as they work together to offer the best
possible materials and instructions to students. School Librarians
and the Technology Department concludes by hypothesizing what the
future holds in the realms of librarianship and technology in this
rapidly changing information age. Provides readers with a solid
understanding of what school librarians do and what technology
specialists do Clarifies the unique challenges, ethical concerns,
and goals of both librarians and technology specialists Presents
ways for both librarians and technology specialists to increase
harmony and productivity as they work in concert to serve students
Examines specific ways to work for the best interest of all
patrons-both students and their teachers
