Hi ya'll! 
I am working on a paper for a grad class and need a bit of info regarding media 
centers. If you have the time between now and the end of Monday please share the 
following information.
 
Thanks so much for your input!
 
1.      Do you collaborate with your teachers? To what extent? Do you collaborate 
with the Principal? Is collaboration supported by the majority of your faculty?
 
2.      What types of technology do you offer to your faculty and students? Do you 
subscribe to databases? Circulate books on tape/CD? Check out projectors, cameras, 
etc. ?
