Essential Reference Services for Today's School Media Specialists
Newbie librarians and teachers, as well as veterans in the field, will find useful information that can be applied to daily practice not only in the school library, but also in the classroom. Chapters cover such topics as information literacy, print and electronic sources, library catalogs, searching the Web, library instruction, and building a collection. The authors help nontechie educators navigate online reference sources by recommending useful Web sites and virtual sources. Seasoned professionals will notice a paradigm shift in service; that is, a change from having the librarian find needed information to teaching students to find it themselves.—Angela Washington-Blair, Emmett J.
