School Library Management, 4th Edition

Articles on planning, budgets, collection development, facilities, circulation, and technology

Reading the new edition of this book is like going to an excellent conference for media specialists and being able to attend every session. More than 100 articles by practicing librarians are reprinted from the Book Report, Library Talk, and Technology Connection, resulting in a handbook exploding with ideas that address issues related to school librarians. Subjects range from everyday management and planning to personnel issues, budgets and collection development, facilities, and circulation. A great deal of attention is also paid to ever-changing technology. The personal tone of the articles and the plethora of ideas conveyed will remind readers of sitting around a table where the creativity just flows. The breadth of the articles and the inclusion of reprintable forms (there's also space for note taking) make this handbook a must for any library media specialist. Helen Rosenberg
