Article by Doug Johnson Home Articles Contact information Column title, periodical, and issue: Media Trends in the Midwest, Media Educator (Georgia Library Media Association), Winter 1997 While I am flattered at being asked to write about what is happening around the Midwest, I have to say up front that you need to read this article knowing that: my information about the things that are happening in states other than Minnesota comes primarily what I read on LM_Net and from attending state library media conferences in Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois; and I tend to be very much an optimist when it comes to school media programs and education in general. How much you read is generalization based on fact, and how much is wishful thinking is difficult for even ME to separate. Be warned, Readers! Media programs in the Upper Midwest overall are better than they have ever been, and the right kind of library/media specialist is more valued than ever before. There are certainly exceptions. School districts facing systemic economic distress (Rockford, IL, for example) find the axe raised above their media programs, and librarians who cling to a text-only mind set find themselves often at odds with their students, staff, administration and the rest of the profession. But in the job-applicant glutted field of education, well-prepared media specialists find themselves in somewhat short supply. There is even a legislative initiative in Iowa to recruit teachers willing to go into media driven by the large number of non-certified media specialists now employed in schools in that state.

Wilkins is beginning to address these kinds of needs by doing such things as comparing authoritative websites with non-reputable websites, finding out specific things about a famous person, answering questions through finding the information in electronic databases of magazines, locating information in the electronic card catalog and then finding the book or material to see if it is really what you need, writing to experts, making timelines on the computer, and creating multimedia presentations to best present the information learned.

Library Media Center Plese click a book to navigate "A new library is like finding a $100 bill on the sidewalk." - Anonymous DECEMBER 2002 BY LAURIE DIAS-MITCHELL White House Conference on School Libraries June 4, 2002 was a historic day for school libraries! First Lady Laura Bush convened a conference on the importance of school libraries in children's education. We are very fortunate in Dartmouth because we have full-time library media specialists in our middle and high schools. Hopefully, in the future, all elementary schools in the district will have vigorous and adequately staffed libraries as well. Research shows there is a direct correlation between high quality school library media programs and student achievement. In fact, the highest achieving students come from schools with good library media centers. Dollars talk here. Spending for school library programs is the single most important variable related to better student achievement. "School libraries help teachers teach and children learn," noted Mrs. Bush, a former public school teacher and librarian. "Children and teachers need library resources especially books and the expertise of a librarian to succeed. Books, information technology, and school librarians who are part of the schools' professional team are basic ingredients for student achievement," Mrs. Bush said. Democrat, Republican, Independent, Green, or Libertarian – none of these matter when it comes to agreeing that student achievement depends, in no small part, on robust school library media services.
