In this study, the evolution of the role of the K-12 public school library media specialist was examined in order to answer the following questions: What is the present role of the K-12 public school library media specialist? What is the evolving role? How does the role of the K-12 public school library media specialist, as it is presently practiced, compare with the role as it is perceived and described in library media and education literature? Information for this study was garnered via a two-pronged process: an extensive historical review of library media and education literature, followed by the gathering of data by means of a process to study a specific district's school library media specialists. A historical review of library media and education literature showed a solid foundation for the three roles of the school library media specialist expounded in Information Power--information specialist, teacher, and instructional consultant. This study used a type of descriptive research known as self-sampling, involving the public school library media specialists at the elementary, middle, and high school levels in the public school systems in the Kentucky counties of Oldham and Shelby. The participants collected data by verbally recording their activities on a micro-recording device after being paged via a vibrating pager that randomly signaled them once during each designated school period. Research data indicated that all three roles were being carried out at all three school levels--elementary, middle, and high. The role of information specialist was found to be the most prominent, followed by teacher and instructional consultant, in that order. All participants stated that the position of school library media specialist was a stressful one, with technology and the lack of time for and the number of tasks being listed as the major factors. Based upon the results of the research, seven recommendations for the profession were made, and topics for further research in the school library media field were suggested.Subjects--Topical Terms:
