Wait, is this the 21st Century?

So I found out recently that not only will I be working somewhere that will not offer technology as a class but there will only be 2 certified librarian working in the libraries.  I was under the impression that in this day and age computers were the focal point of preparing students for the future work force.  I guess I am mistaken.  It is extremely disheartening to know that in no elementary schools will there be someone with training to help inspire a love of reading.  Don't get me wrong, the classroom teacher comes first and foremost in inspiring these students with a love of reading, but isn't the library the place where many of us remember going as young children and being exposed to new stories and ideas?  Now I do agree with the argument that almost anyone who can read in voices and display a passion for reading can help this process along, but the school librarian has morphed into so much more.  They are not just there for books anymore, but for helping with research and information literacy.  A part of me worries that when these students get to their secondary years they will truly believe that google and wikipedia are the only places on the internet to get answers to questions.  And I agree, they are good sites, but what are they really beyond a fancy almanac?  You wouldn't use an almanac to write a research paper, so why would you use google or think it is ok to teach students to use it?  Either way, it is a sad day for our educational field in general.  Librarians are the glue that bonds students, teachers, and proper research techniques.  (I'm not saying that all teachers are bad researchers, but ask yourself this . . . Where can you find peer reviewed literature at either your public library or local school district?)
