This article focuses on school libraries. Library research reveals many technological advances presently in operation for information storage and retrieval practices in college and university libraries and to some extent in large public libraries. School libraries have lagged behind, it is true, in extending information services to teachers and students. Lawrence E. Vredevoe and Francis L. Goff have envisioned the school library of 1970 as a school information center. The information specialist, by means of a microfilm aperture card sorter, returns in a few minutes with perhaps one hundred cards, about an inch in thickness, with microfilm copies of every item in the center on the subject selected. A school library today, both elementary and secondary, must be a centrally organized collection, readily accessible, of many kinds of materials that, used together, enrich and support the educational program of the school of which it is an integral part. In large schools it may be located in more than one place on the school campus. The knowledge and competencies of librarians, audio-visual personnel and curriculum specialists must be shared far more widely than has been done up to this time.
