Media Specialist

The media specialist performs many duties. Those duties include traditional librarian skills such as selecting and managing all the materials in the school library. Since those materials come in many formats librarians have become media users and instructors. So the librarian has turned into a media specialist.  The responsibility of the media specialist is to collect appropriate materials for the school populations in whatever format, make them available, and instruct users in their use. The ultimate goal of the media specialist is to assist users in finding the information that they need.
