The elements of collaboration, leadership, and technology are integral to every aspect of the school library media program and the School Library Media Specialist’s role (AASL, 1998). The creation of a collaborative environment has been described as the “single most important factor” for successful school improvement initiatives and “the first order of business in order to enhance the effectiveness of school communities” (Eastwood and Louis, 1992, p. 212). In addition to school districts, previous course projects have engaged corporate, government, and non-profit partners to ensure that students receive the cutting-edge skills that they can apply immediately in the marketplace.
