If there is any one buzzword which has taken the library world by storm, it is surely "information". Books and periodicals abound on this "new" and thunderously important topic (which basically has been our bread and butter for years now without much ballyhoo.) This program, which discusses the impact of the new school media program guidelines, is interesting enough to be worth a listen, but too self-congratulatory of school media librarians to offer much objective help. AECT presidents, past and present, speak vaguely about "collecting", "implementing", "evaluating", "mission", "access", etc. School media librarians are informed that they are: 1) Information specialists, 2) Teachers, and 3) Instructional consultants. This last category is referred to elsewhere in the video as "machine specialists". Well, if clearing a paper feed on the copier is going to be easier for you if you perform this activity under the rubric of "machine specialist" or "instructional consultant" (if you're showing someone else, too) -then, by all means, this one's for you. Otherwise, not a necessary purchase. (Available from: ALA Video, 50 E. Huron St., Chicago, IL 60611.)
