contents Blazing New Frontiers: Library/Media Technology Education To Meet the Needs of Rural Northeastern Arizona. Rothlisberg, Allen P. Academic Libraries Community Colleges Curriculum Design History Library Education Library Personnel Library Science Media Specialists Needs Assessment Paraprofessional Personnel Professional Continuing Education Rural Environment Telecommunications Two Year Colleges Undergraduate Study This paper presents a short history of the development of the only library/media technology program in the state of Arizona that offers courses especially designed for library technicians. A description is given of how the program evolved after a needs assessment was conducted in 1986, and approval was given by the Arizona State Community College board for Northland Pioneer College to grant a Certificate of Applied Science in Library/Media Technology and an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Library/Media Technology. The curriculum that was especially designed to meet rural needs is also discussed, with emphasis on: (1) instructional arrangements for teaching the curriculum in widely-scattered areas; (2) the development of courses to meet special student and community needs; and (3) the offering of a one unit course for school librarians based on a national video conference for school library personnel. Future plans are also discussed, including innovative courses and the use of audio and video teleconference systems. (11 references) (CGD)
