Abstract: In 2010, the researchers conducted a nationwide survey of school librarians' technology leadership practices. While the majority of school librarians reported being involved in many levels of technology leadership in their schools and districts, some school librarians responded that aspects of digital learning were considered "Not My Job." This paper presents an analysis of the questions for which respondents noted functions of technology leadership that were outside their purview. These analyses are contextualized in current policy and professional trends, especially concerning digital learning system support.
