Technology has become one of the three main areas of focus for school
librarians, along with collaboration and leadership. To meet the growing
need in this area, Technology and the School Library provides an
overview of the types of technologies used in school libraries and
describes how the school librarian interacts with and works with the
technology. Major topics covered in this volume include information
resources in the school library, the different varieties of educational
software available, resources available via the web, and the importance
of creating a school library web site. This book also addresses tools
that can be used in classrooms and technology administration-everything
from automation and filters to security on student computers and
security systems in general. This up-to-date overview of technology will
provide school librarians the background and breadth needed to realize
the potential they have for improving library services to children.
