As a library media specialist, it is important to keep your skills current because both students and teachers alike rely on you to not only help them find the resources they need in a wide variety of print, non-print, and electronic formats, but also to teach them the necessary research skills to acquire, evaluate, and use that information.
In addition, media specialists are expected to train students and teachers in the use of technologies used to locate information.
Librarians are typically asked to hold formal or informal workshops to keep teachers abreast of the most recent developments in both technology and in curricula.
Because curricula and technology advance rapidly, it is important to stay up-to-date. Here are links to websites that can help you develop your skills and keep your knowledge current.
