MEDIA HANDBOOK 1.2 Current Status of St. Johns County School Libraries The Media Classroom The St. Johns County School District is fortunate to have excellent library media facilities. We currently have 7 high schools, 7 middle schools, 1 K-8 school, and 17 elementary school libraries. Most of our schools are equipped with a television studio. The St. Johns County School District stresses the importance of highly qualified media professionals and paraprofessionals. We provide in-service opportunities to allow those individuals to achieve and maintain a high degree of proficiency, and stay on top of the cut- ting edge of their profession. Our media professionals make our program an exemplary one, recognized throughout the state of Florida. The role of the media specialist in the St. Johns County School District has been rede- fined, as reflected in their job description approved by the School Board on April 20, 1999. We are fortunate to have the support of our district and school level administrators to provide monthly in service opportunities with all of our media specialists. An annual schedule of training opportunities is established at the beginning of each year. We also have the ability to meet several times a year with all of our media paraprofessional staff. In 2000 all of our paraprofessionals were upgraded to media aides in the non-instructional con- tract. Philosophy The school librarians are recognized as instructional leaders and curriculum experts in their schools operating out of the Media Classroom. The professional attitude generated by these media specialists enriches the basic foundation of our philosophy, which is known as SERVICE. MEDIA HANDBOOK 1.3 P A G E 3 OBJECTIVES Objectives necessary to achieve the school library program mission are: 1. To provide intellectual access to information through systematic learning activities which develop cognitive strategies for selecting, retrieving, analyzing, evaluating, synthesizing, and creating information at all age levels and in all curriculum content areas. 2. To provide physical access to information through (a) a carefully se- lected and systematically organized collection of diverse learning resources, representing a wide range of subjects, levels of difficulty, communication formats, and technology delivery systems; (b) access to information and materials outside the library media center and the school building through such mechanisms as interlibrary loan, networking and other cooperative agree- ments, and online searching of databases; and (c) providing instruction in the operation of equipment necessary to use the information in any format. 3. To provide learning experiences that encourages users to become dis- criminating consumers and skilled creators of information through introduction to the full range of communications media and use of the new and emerging information technologies. 4. To provide leadership, instruction, and consulting assistance in the use of instructional and information technology and the use of sound instructional design principles. 5. To provide resources and activities that contributes to lifelong learning, while accommodating a wide range of differences in teaching and learning styles and in instructional methods, interests, and capacities. 6. To provide a facility that functions as the information center of the school, as a focus for integrated, interdisciplinary, intergraded, and school - wide learning activities.
