  • K-12 Networking: Breaking Down the Walls of the Learning Environment. Epler, Doris, Ed. Computer Networks Computer Uses in Education Curriculum Development Educational Planning Elementary Secondary Education Futures (of Society) Information Networks Learning Resources Centers Media Specialists School Libraries Networks can benefit school libraries by: (1) offering multiple user access to information; (2) managing and distributing information and data; (3) allowing resources to be shared; (4) improving and enabling communications; (5) improving the management of resources; and (6) creating renewed interest in the library and its resources. As a result, schools must give consideration to many concerns when planning to get involved in computer networking.
