Clover Taylor, Library Media Specialist at Western Albemarle High School in Crozet, is responsible for the library's web page for this 1,080 student, comprehensive high school in Central Virginia. She keeps the page up to date and through it offers reference resources that help the students complete their class assignments as well as pursue their personal interests.

Lin Hill writes, "Students surveyed indicate it is a resource they use regularly, for they know they can depend on it for quality internet resources. Faculty members also use the library's web page to access instructional resources outside the building. Through Ms. Taylor's diligent efforts, the learning community of Western Albemarle High School continues to grow as effective, efficient and ethical users of information."

Ms. Clover demonstrates the critical role library information specialists play in the digital age, where knowledge of how to access, interpret and utilize information is the key to success.
