Mrs. Beauchene is a state certified Library Media Specialist with a
Master's Degree in Library Science. She has also become
knowledgeable in computer use and management, but only as a result
of graduating from The School of Hard Knocks. She is now working on
an advanced degree at the same school. She is afraid that because of
the exponential growth of technology, she will never succeed in getting
her advanced degree.
There are four core service objectives which all library media
programs need to address in order to provide an effective program, according
to a document entitled Literacy Partners issued by the State of Connecticut.
They are:
-Provide access to information for students and staff that is
appropriate to student development and features diversity in
perspective,format, and interest.
-Collaborate with teachers so that every student learns to access,
evaluate, and use information through activities that are planned
and assessed in ways that help them achieve classroom
instructional objectives.
-Join others in the learning community to encourage every student to
read, view, and listen for information and enjoyment, realizing these
practices are necessary for literacy and form the basis for
a successful and productive life.
-Administer a planned program that provides a welcoming environment
conducive to learning, and promotes students' intellectual and
personal growth.
