Spotlight---Libraries of the Future

One must first realize that every student is unique! "Teach them how to fish." I like that statement because it is so true. Students must be taught how to research. Research is at the center of our technology world. It is not just books in the library anymore but computers as well. As a media specialist, it is important that we are successful at helping with reference services.
(1) One must definitely have a knowledge of the collection
(2) It is important to be able to discuss and make conversations with each individual
(3) One must be able to select, acquire, and evaluate resources
(4) It so very important to meet the needs of each individual student
