Introduction

I recently bought a t-shirt that features "The Evolving Librarian". It begins with a primate wearing reading glasses, evolved to a monk in a scriptorium then to the stereotypial librarian with the bun shushing. The evolved librarian is carrying a book, a laptop, and wearing earbuds. That's what all successful librarians today, especially school library media specialists, must be. Gone are the days when all we had to know was books and other print materials. Today, school library media specialists have to be experts on books and other print materials, auid, video, electronic resources, information literacy, responsible online behavior, integration of technology in the classroom, etc., etc., etc.

I hope this blog will become a space for library media specialists who have evolved or are in the process of doing so.
