They are experts in locating and retrieving information; organization and classification of information; and evaluation and use of information. School librarians are experts in understanding and communicating about human information behavior, the human capacities that people have to need, seek, give, and use information in different contexts, and in understanding the flow of information in society (information transfer cycles).
