<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">"At Ridgewood Elementary, librarian Debbie Alvarez taught students how to build a PowerPoint slide around a poem. At the International School of Beaverton, Rosa Rothenberger helped a social studies teacher find books and materials to create an Asian history class. At Highland Park Middle School,Terri Kuechle teaches students how to focus their online research, to cite their work and to avoid plagiarism. Parents may know the names of their children's classroom teachers, but it's unlikely they know the school librarian or what she does on a daily basis. 'That's always been the bane of our profession,' said Susan Stone, president-elect of the Oregon Association of School Libraries. 'We've got to shout about what we do.'"</span></p>
