School Library Related Job Descriptions Needed

[info storytrail.com]

Dear TLD Colleagues,

 

Our state is participating in the federally funded grant project called SLIDE: The School Librarian Investigation—Decline or Evolution? (https://libslide.org) The three-year project is examining national data on school librarian employment and how school leaders make the decisions to staff library, learning resources, and instructional technology services for their K-12 students. As a component of the study, a content analysis of school library-related job descriptions and job titles will be conducted to learn if and how roles are changing or morphing with other positions.

 

Keith Curry Lance, RSL Research Group, and Deb Kachel, Antioch University Seattle, the project leaders, are asking for job descriptions or job announcements that are:

• Professional positions related to library, learning resources, and instructional technology for K- 12 students
• Recent or currently in use for school librarians or related positions that may include some or all of the work of a librarian
• Full-time or part-time; may be district or school-level positions
• Must include the name of the school district, city, and state on the job description or announcement

The project is accepting all related job descriptions with various titles. Some examples of related job titles include:

·  Coordinator of information literacy

·  Digital literacy teacher

·  Educational technology-information literacy specialist

·  Information skills and technology teacher

·  Learning coach/librarian

·  Learning resources specialist

·  Library-technology educator

·  Teacher librarian-technology coach

·  Instructional technology facilitator

Please submit your position descriptions or job postings from your district or area directly to Marcia Rodney mro...@rslresearch.com or Deb Kachel dka...@antioch.edu

 

Thank you for supporting this important research.

 

Stay safe and well.

 

Best,

Judi, Arizona SLIDE Representative and Advisory Council Member
