Why Are Media Positions Cut? How Not To Survive!
Anderson, Mary Alice
MultiMedia Schools, v9 n3 p23-25 May-Jun 2002

Highlights include operating in isolation rather than being integrated into the school; isolated traditional library skills rather than integrated information literacy; unhelpful statistics; protecting resources rather than sharing them; lack of technology skills; and poor management.
