Currently, technological developments, especially in the field of information technology and computers, are developing very rapidly. In current conditions, the world is shocked by the presence of a deadly virus called the Covid-19 virus. Because of the virus, all human activities are disrupted and even stopped, one of which is teaching and learning activities in schools. With the development of technology like now, we can take advantage of this technology to help students in the learning process at school. Web design is an alternative way to keep the learning process going. With this distance learning process students can still learn and receive the material given.

Catalogers have become fluent in information technology such as web design skills, HyperText Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Stylesheets (CSS), eXensible Markup Language (XML), and programming languages. The knowledge gained from learning information technology can be used to experiment with methods of transforming one metadata schema into another using various software solutions. This paper will discuss the use of eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) for repurposing, editing, and reformatting metadata. Catalogers have the requisite skills for working with any metadata schema, and if they are excluded from metadata work, libraries are wasting a valuable human resource.

The objectives of this paper are to examine the principals’ transformational leadership qualities and to juxtapose this to Information Technology adoption in Botswana secondary schools. Using David et al. (1989) Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Todd’s (1999) transformational leadership constructs, and qualitative open-ended questions, a research tool was formulated to establish the perceptions of school heads in 10 urban and 14 rural schools, about computer technology acceptance, the role of the school library in the integration of computers in the school and transformational leadership. The findings point to a trend towards computer acceptance and transformational leadership, albeit some indications of computer anxiety, some feelings about the lack of computer usefulness and ease of use, as well as leadership issues, like the lack of functional school libraries. One of the most relevant findings was the positive correlation between perceived ease of use of the computer statement to some leadership constructs.

In recent years people have seen a boom in the development of technology; therefore, Internet has been playing an increasingly important role in learning .The fastest developed information service system on the Internet is World Wide Web. WWW transmits all kinds of information via multimedia. Students would rather find information by surfing the net than do it by going to a library. Digital learning has become a tendency. Many school libraries have digitized their libraries. However, some libraries, especially those of elementary and high schools, do not have the budget to do so. Fortunately, many Internet resources are free. The purpose of this research is: if we can categorize useful Internet resources as we do with books, record the web addresses , give description of them in a clear web design page, and then put the web design page on the web site of the school library, we can offer them to the teachers and students who need these Internet resources. It not only complements the electronic collections of school libraries but also promotes the digitization of them.
