New web 2.0 tools, Delicious for bookmarking, Twitter for research, and virtual libraries have drastically changed the use of a collection on shelves.

The challenge facing school librarians today is knowing how to select and maintain print formats as well as the plethora of electronic formats that patrons expect and demand.
