As loyal readers may recall, I mentioned that the credential for those that do what we do has changed. We are no longer Library Media Teachers. As of January 1, 2008, all new credentials issued will say Teacher Librarian.
I have now found the document that tells you all about it on the Commission on Teacher Credentialing's website.
See: Teacher Librarian Services Credential
The one advantage to the new title is that I no longer have to explain what is I do. Very few understood what a Library Media Teacher was and we have had that title since 1990 (when they issued the first LMT credentials). Everyone understands Teacher Librarian because they skip that first part.
By the way, I still think it should be Teacher-Librarian (with hyphen).

I too think it should have a hyphen! Thanks for posting this!
Definitely Teacher-Librarian, with the hyphen!
