Purpose
of the Course
Information Technology for School Library Media
Centers is a hybrid course which includes in-person sessions,
interactive television sessions, and web-based sessions. Because of the
use of technology to deliver the content, the course provides a unique
situation in that the medium is the message.
Rationale
Because technology influences many activities and
decisions within a school library and because so many activities and
decisions influence technology decisions, the topics that can fall
within the domain of this course are diverse. To address such a diverse
field and to make it meaningful for individuals who bring diverse
situations and backgrounds to the course, much of the coursework allows
students to adapt the course requirements to their individual needs.
Much of the coursework asks students to study, understand, and solve
technology problems and solutions that arise in real libraries.
