[AISLE-Share] Library vs. Media Center vs. ...

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

We are called a media center, but library works better for me.  As schools
and librarians are moving toward 21st century library protocols, I think
the word "library" is really the best word.  It says everything about what
we do because modern libraries do so much to serve patrons!

I am not a fan of "learning commons," but this is hot terminology, too.
I'll be curious to see how others respond.



Happily Ever After,

Karrie Fisher
Media Center Specialist
