Extractions: Outdated School Libraries: What Can You Do to Update Yours? In Baltimore, library coordinator Della Curtis keeps examples of outdated books from the county's school libraries on a "shelf of shame." Curtis spearheaded a drive in Baltimore that led county officials this year to fund $10.5 million for the purchase of new books. Today, Curtis tells Education World writer Mary Daniels Brown how she accomplished that. Included: Comments from librarians and other experts on the state of our schools' libraries and advice from Della Curtis on mounting your own successful campaign for funding for new library books. In May 2000 the Baltimore (Maryland) County Council approved a $10.5 million budget for the purchase of new books for libraries in all of the county's middle and high schools. "Replacing the collections will bring us up to 80 percent of state standards," Della Curtis, coordinator of the county schools' office of library information services, told Education World. Baltimore County is the 24th largest school district in the country. The Baltimore County secondary schools need this money for new library materials. According to

Contents Volume 5 (2002) The role of school library media specialists and the competencies they need in order to succeed have changed and expanded over many years. This paper reviews research and other publications related to competencies and the preparation of school library media specialists. Although few research studies directly address competencies and educational programs for school library media specialists, several have implications for one or both. First, Information Power (1988, 1998) and its relationship to competencies and preparation programs is discussed. Second, publications and documents that focus on competencies are reviewed. Third, research studies and conceptual papers with implications for competencies and preparation of school library media specialists are examined. Finally, conclusions and implications for research and the preparation of school library media specialists are offered. Information Power The Competent School Library Media Specialist Role Conflict and the Instructional/Curricular Role Interpersonal and Communication Skills ... Works Cited Limited research has specifically examined the preparation or training of school library media specialists, but results of several studies have implications and sometimes specific recommendations for the education of school library professionals. Some of these studies relate to the roles and desired professional competencies of school library media specialists, while others focus on personal competencies and characteristics, such as interpersonal and communication skills. Historical and conceptual essays, position papers, and reports of practice related to these topics have been published. Groups of library media professionals around the country have used national guidelines and standards for library media programs to guide them in the development of lists of competencies for school library media specialists in their states and school districts. These lists are often used to fashion job descriptions or evaluation instruments for school library media specialists.
