What is Leadership?At its essence, leading is all about
relationships – growing the connections among individuals that permit
collective, collaborative thinking and action.
Leaders motivate, join forces in articulating a common vision and goals,
and support others in conceiving and implementing plans for action.

Is there a leader type?We say, “So-and-so is a born
leader.” No such thing. Leadership is a relationship
between a person and a group plus the skills to guide the
group to success. As with any relationship, success depends on both parties. One group’s stellar leader may fail utterly when leading another group.

School Librarians as Leaders
A curricular leader and a full participant on the instructional team, the library
media specialist constantly updates personal skills and knowledge in order
to work effectively with teachers, administrators, and other staff--both to expand their general understanding of
information issues and to provide them with specific opportunities to develop
sophisticated skills in information literacy, including the uses of
information technology.Roles and Responsibilities of the School Library Media Specialist

LMS Leadership Pays Off!Academic achievement increases when
school librarians are leaders in their schools.
Library media specialists who seek leadership roles and partnerships with administrators create
strong library media programs translating into academic achievement. This is an indirect
relationship. That is, leadership translates to higher collaboration with teachers in creating
quality learning experiences that in turn, has a direct impact on academic achievement.

As Ross Todd explains, Evidence-Based Practice is “knowing and showing how the school library program helps students learn.” For more information on Evidence-Based Practice, please click here.
