The School Library Media Manager (Library and Information Science Text Series)
This updated volume is a good choice for introductory library school courses and can be consulted as a reference, especially by library media specialist students for information about how to choose a position. The 15 chapters and appendixes cover advocacy, collection development, curriculum support, facilities, instruction, leadership, and technology. Several pages also address AASL's Standards for the 21st Century Learner. Each chapter ends with references and exercises highlighted in gray-shaded boxes. The activities are carefully crafted, but the book lacks a sufficient number of exercises that focus on instructional technologies such as online pathfinders, and professional communication tools such as LM_Net and blogs, of which students may not yet be aware. Despite the limitations, this is a valuable resource.—Caroline Geck, Newark Public Schools, NJCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
