This site is to keep library media professionals abreast of the events and hopefully to provide a medium of communication as many pilot parts of the assessment and later begin their certification process. Library media centers now offer students, teachers, and other members of the learning community access to a wide range of information delivered through a variety of media, including books, the Internet, digital information, and multimedia. The Standards committee completed their work of developing the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Certification for Library Media. These standards have been approved by the Board and media folks around the country are piloting parts of the assessment. It is expected that the first round of certification will be ready for the 2001-2002 school year.The final standards are available for purchase from the National Board http://www.nbpts.org
