Synopsis
Why have libraries and schools―both public institutions committed to community-based learning―adopted new technologies in dramatically different ways? Exploring the differences in technology use between schools and libraries across the country, the authors describe ways that these two institutions can collaborate to improve teaching and learning while building communities. With a focus on literacy development, they investigate how new technologies are implemented and the lessons that institutions can learn from one another. Including case studies and surveys to illustrate concepts, the book discusses:
- The history and purposes of schools and libraries from the 1800s to the present.
- Leadership and staffing issues related to technology development.
- Differences in mission, structural approaches to literacy, and public expectations for schools and libraries.
- The uses of technology in both institutions to create stronger communities.
