Abstract
My career as a media specialist began 15 years ago. When I started, technology by today's standards was limited. Computers were few or nonexistent and the video cassette recorders (VCRs) was looked at as a new technological teaching tool. Library/media skills were taught solely by the media specialist with little or no consideration for when or where they would be used in the curriculum. Teachers were comfortable with the traditional teaching models and most did not envision a need for change.
However, changes did begin to occur, albeit slowly. Technology became an integral part of a teacher's tools. VCRs to laser discs to compact discs interactive (CDI) were used to relay information with direct student interaction becoming an added ingredient. Card catalogs were replaced by computerized versions and print encyclopedias and other reference sources were available on the CD-Rom with multimedia capabilities.
