A Travel Agent in Cyberschool: The Internet and the Library Media Program

by John F. Lebaron, Catherine Collier

Contending that librarians occupy key positions in the educational technology revolution, these authors examine how technology-enhanced education improvements fit in with the library media program. They discuss organizational challenges of library-media-led Internet integration throughout the school curriculum. Planning; school and community and networking; staff development and policy; acceptable use, censorship, and copyright are some of the issues covered. The book also reviews some Internet tools (e.g., World Wide Web) and provides guidelines for access and application to the curriculum. A glossary and disks to aid in Internet navigation are included.
