Good question. I'm teaching a course on school library management for an LIS program in North Carolina. We watched a video yesterday featuring the great Joyce Valenza, talking about the teaching role of the lms. Afterwards I asked the (virtual) class what they got out of it. The response: one comment she made among all the exciting programming ideas, about the elimination of the lms position in a disturbing number of schools around the U.S., back in 2016 but, as my students know, still happening. I promised I would arm them with readings on the value of the lms to share with their administrators.
