New Survey for LMC

Library Media Connection is again collecting data that librarians
want to know. Our question this month asks: How many libraries do you
supervise?  Please contribute to our data collection efforts and
enter a drawing for exciting new professional materials. Completing
the survey should take less than a minute of your time. Visit

Thanks for helping Library Media Connection report the data that you,
our readers, have requested.

Warm regards,

GLMA and GAIT (Georgia Association of Instructional Technology) co-sponsor the Georgia School Library Media Specialist of the Year award to recognize K-12 library media specialists whose services have resulted in exemplary library media programs. Each school system may select one library media specialist for this award. From those chosen for the system level award, one media specialist is chosen as the district Library Media Specialist of the Year. (Each district represents a different region of Georgia.) The state Library Media Specialist of the Year is selected from the district winners and will be announced the Georgia Council of Media Organizations conference.
