Introduction

Managing access to information seems a straight forward task for teacher-librarians, but in actuality this aspect of our job is multifaceted. "The expansion of resources into technology formats available to users in libraries, schools, offices, and homes requires a new version for management of information" ( p. 1). This "new version" for information management includes, but is not limited to:

1) Managing the physical space so as to “access” the info best – housing the collection, cataloguing choices/online library systems, (location of computers). 2) Choosing the materials – purchasing online references, tech equipment, selection policy, weeding. 3) Ability/opportunity to access info – copyright, filtering, privacy, virtual libraries.
