What Is HASLMS?
The Hillsborough Association of School Library Media Specialists is the professional organization of elementary, middle and high school certified teachers called school library media specialists.
The library media specialist is poised to work collaboratively with teachers, administrators, and others to facilitate students' entry into the communcation age. Collaboration is essential as library media specialists work with teachers to plan , conduct, and evaluate learning activities that incorporate information literacy. The library media specialist takes the lead in educational reform by showing the connections between information-based learning and the skills students will need in the twenty-first century. They use technology from the perspective of the technologist, integrating people, learning, and the tools of technology.
