Synopsis
Many school librarians face similar inquiries, such as students confused about writing citations, teachers seeking a quick way to plan a research unit, parents seeking advice on getting their child to read, or a volunteer needing instruction on shelving books. All are valid and urgent questions requiring immediate responses. In today's digital world, answering these questions is both easier and more complicated. While the plethora of online applications allows easier sharing of documents, the latest technologies have also raised new issues and added new complications.

Integrating traditional and electronic means of communication, this book provides invaluable sample documents backed up by a carefully reasoned approach and practical guidelines for the strategic management of any school library. These essential documents not only improve your ability to work with teachers and students, but also help you use your library to build a positive school culture.

Reviews
In this busy world, where school librarians try to balance collection development, facilities maintenance, annual reports, programming, and volunteers and still teach lessons, they sometimes need access to a ready-made form. Now they can stop frantically searching the Internet, because in this second edition of Essential Documents for School Libraries, author MacDonell has included basic forms for everything from press releases, flyers for parents, and brochures about library services to budgeting and collaborating with staff. Forms are grouped topically in seven chapters, which also provide guidance and discussion of the forms. The book comes with a CD so that forms can be customized. This reviewer revamped a library brochure (in less than an hour) using the CD. Although you may not have a use for every form right now, this book should be on your shelf for the times that you do. Make sure your system buys a copy. --Dona Helmer
