Pass it forward: teaching as an adjunct

For many years I hosted practicum students in my library media center (LMC) and too often heard about their professors' pronouncements that "every school library is/should be fully staffed, fully automated, fully funded, fully flexibly scheduled, and fully integrated with the curriculum..." [...] my courses are grounded in practicality because most of my students will probably be hired to run a one-person library in a school where the school library program might not be viewed as an integral part of the learning process.
