Competency Nine: Internet

Using Google, I located and chose the American Associations of School Librarians. This site has a lot to offer not only current school librarians, but students like me as well. There are links for continuing education classes and conferences for the veterans and resources for the school librarian students. The ALA and AASL's guidelines and standards along with explanations are provided too in addition to a section on current issues and trends specific to the school library. Finally, two online journals are available: Knowledge Quest and School Library Media Research, a peer reviewed journal.

I chose this site because as a student in the MLS program, this site offers a lot of resources for me. I was drawn to this site after locating the online journal, which looks to have a lot of interesting research articles. Rather than zone in on the journal, I wanted to see what else was available from the AASL/ALA and as stated above, there is a lot of useful information to be found.
