About this title

Book Description:

At one time, it was believed that reference librarians answered questions correctly only 55 percent of the time. With the expansion of resources, training, and responsibility, that is certainly no longer true. Today's school media specialist is an active instructional partner, an advocate for information literacy and media center resources, and a reference librarian.
