Checklist Item #3: Membership

One of the many responsibilities of an effective school library media specialist is to stay up-to-date with current technology and emerging research that are meaningful and appropriate to use within the school to promote reading and learning. I have become a member of the following organizations to help me stay informed of emerging research and the newest technology: American Library Association and the Georgia Library Association. These organizations will help to provide me with information on becoming a leader for the promotion, development, and improvement of my library. They will also help me to enhance the learning within the school and ensure that everyone has equal access to the services.
