Teacher-librarians have a long history of embracing new and emerging technologies from “paperbacks” to “non-print” materials to 21st century Web 2.0 tools and techniques. Have learning and achievement improved? Have the rules of engagement with students, teachers, administrators, and parents changed? Have teacher-librarians become more critical to the educational enterprise? Ken Haycock reflects on forty years as an educator, a senior education official and school board president and a researcher, and the lessons learned for quality school libraries with essential teacher-librarians.
