Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Ohio State University, 1996.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how four exemplary school library media specialists view their profession; how they perceive themselves as library media specialists and educators; and how these beliefs have influenced them in one area of their responsibilities, the incorporation of multicultural literature into the curriculum. In particular, the study presented (a) how these school library media specialists describe their attitudes and responsibilities in relation to the roles of teacher, information specialist, and instructional consultant, (b) how contextual factors, namely the administration, the resources, and the collegial relationship among professionals enable or constrain these roles and responsibilities, (c) how these school library media specialists pursue their own continuing professional development, and (d) how they define, justify, promote, and use multicultural literature in their schools.Subjects--Topical Terms:
