Abstract
Schools and the role of the teacher-librarian are rapidly changing as we begin the twenty-first century. This review examines the historical and current role of teacher-librarians, concepts of information literacy and technology integration, and how teacher-librarians can integrate these skills in twenty-first century schools. New technologies and how teacher-librarians can gain support for their new role are also examined.
Through an extensive literature review and synthesis of information, a series of five research questions are evaluated. This review shows that the teacher-librarian's role has changed dramatically in the last twenty-five years. By emphasizing information literacy and technology integration into both library programs and other curriculum areas, teacher-librarians can be more effective and efficient leaders in their schools. The key is for teacher-librarians to become more aggressive in advocating their knowledge, skills and abilities for meeting the changing demands.
