The work of school librarians and special education teachers may appear divergent; however, as professionals in a rapidly changing educational environment, they share the need for resources in a variety of formats. In-depth interviews were conducted with six school librarians and six special education teachers representing a wide range of backgrounds and years of experience. Both groups expressed an increased need to learn more about accessing and using a wider range of multimodal resources and adaptive technologies. They also acknowledged the influence of the growing population of students with disabilities and the shift in PreK-12 public schools to more inclusive educational practices. Understanding the dynamics of their information-seeking behaviors may lead to additional entry points to use in helping all educators refine their information-seeking practices.
