From The Book Report January/February, 2001 Reprinted with permission from The Book Report Massachusetts Reaches Out and Spreads the Word about Library Media Centers By Doris Smith MASSACHUSETTS ranks 47th out of 50 states in the number of students per school library media specialist. Thirteen percent of Massachusetts's public schools do not provide library media center programs for their students and staff. For a state with so many institutions of higher learning and high tech companies, the condition of the school libraries in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is untenable. As a first step in improving the situation, the Massachusetts School Library Media Association (MSLMA) set goals to make our profession more widely known in our state and to demonstrate the importance of our role in the school and in curriculum planning. Then came the Information Power II initiative from the American Association of School Librarians (AASL), with its mandate to reach out to other organizations. Margaret Hallissey, MSLMA past president and AASL representative, challenged us to stretch ourselves and make contact with other organizations in the educational community and beyond, expanding our network outside the library media field. Among the opportunities that Hallissey's challenge created are the following, which your state organization might also find helpful in broadening its outreach:

The Library Media Services Department at Greater Lowell Tech contains one of the largest and most comprehensive collections in a technical secondary school in the country. It provides students with a wide variety of resources that are integrated into the curriculum and learning activities to help them become lifelong learners and discriminating users of information. There are four library/media centers at Greater Lowell Tech. The main one, the IMC (Instructional Media Center) is located on the third floor in the center of the building. Each of the three satellite media centers, SMCs, are located in a technical cluster. They are the Business/Graphics SMC, Construction/Automotive SMC, and the Personal Services/Health SMC. They hold print material for technical areas of instruction, as well as video carrels and computers, each connected system wide to a main source.
