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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 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. \u003ci\u003eSchool Librarians and the Technology Department\u003c\/i\u003e concludes by hypothesizing what the future holds in the realms of librarianship and technology in this rapidly changing information age.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMary Ann Bell\u003c\/b\u003e, EdD, is professor in the Department of Library Science, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, TX.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHolly Weimar\u003c\/b\u003e, EdD, is associate professor in the Department of Library Science, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, TX. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Van Roekel\u003c\/b\u003e, MLS, MA, is associate director of Lowman Student Center at Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, TX.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 132\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 23, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42741809119295,"sku":"9781586835392","price":82.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/22b3d861496e331bb6b6f0c687b0d0ac.webp?v=1765161818","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/school-librarians-and-the-technology-department-a-practical-guide-to-successful-collaboration-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
