A unified media program is an integral
part of the instructional process of the Somerset County Public School System
in helping students achieve the outcomes of the Maryland School Performance
Program. Since education is best achieved through a a variety of multi-sensory
learning approaches and teaching techniques, the media center through a centralized
collection of materials with a common retrieval system is designed to support
the educational goals of the school system and serve all students (pre-K thru
12). The collection of materials should be specifically designed to
meet the curriculum needs of the school and to enhance the intellectual freedom
and personal and social development of the students served.
The Somerset County System and
the library media personnel involved in instruction have the responsibility
for providing leadership for the Library Media Program. This responsibility
includes support for planning, development, analysis, management, and
evaluation of library media programs and services and the integration
of library media programs into the instructional program.
