Rails - Jun 2014 - ActiveModel Serailizers, how can I load it and why do I need to?

Noobie here.

The gist of my problem is this. If I move from serializer file from
app/serializers/ to app/models/ then everything works fine. My JSON API
will output my data according to my serializer. However, if I remove the
copy from the app/models/ directory... it no longer works and goes back
to Rails default JSON output.

What do I need to do to include my serializer file in app/serializers/?

**/app/serializers/item_serializer.rb**

    class ItemSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
      attributes :id, :name
    end

**/app/controllers/items_controller.rb**


    class ItemsController < ApplicationController
      respond_to :json

      def index
        items = Item.all
        respond_with ({ success: :true, items: items }.as_json)
      end

      def show
        @item = Item.find_by_id(params[:id])
        if @item
          render json: @item, serializer: ItemSerializer
        else
          render json: { success: :false, error: "Could not find
item."}, status: :not_found
        end
      end
    end

Do I HAVE TO have my serializers in /app/models by default. Why would
ActiveModel Serializers default generating a new serializer then to the
/app/serializers directory. How do I let my controller know about my
serializer?
