The Who What Where When Why and How
Librarians frequently proclaim the importance of verifying sources, and with good reason. It’s only fair, then, that we begin this blog with some information about us and what we hope to accomplish on Circulation: The RIEMA Blog.
The mission of the Rhode Island Educational Media Association is to provide leadership and support for school library media professionals and support staff in the development, promotion, improvement, and evaluation of school library media, computer, and instructional technology programs in all Rhode Island schools.
Please visit our website at www.riema.org. If you have not yet joined RIEMA, please consider doing so. All persons interested in the field of educational media are eligible for membership.
The RIEMA Executive Board has started this blog in order to facilitate feedback and discussion on a variety of topics. We encourage our members to comment whenever the mood or topic strikes.
Check back soon for our first discussion topic. Until then, get out there and circulate!

Thank you, Zach, for getting Circulation: The RIEMA Blog up and running. I’m looking forward to spirited exchanges, opportunities for sharing, celebrating our succsses, and maybe a little rabble-rousing.

The whole question of Library Media Specialist vs Teacher/Librarian gives me a headache. I fully understand all of the arguments for calling ourselves Teacher/Librarians but is this the only way to get the respect we deserve in the field of education? Is this just another phase in the never ending educational jargon cycle? In five years are we going to discuss whether we should be called Information Specialist vs Teacher/Librarian? P.S. Zach, well done!!!
