This practical text provides all the information and direction beginning school librarians need to develop and manage multiformat collections.

With the myriad number of print and electronic materials now available for school libraries, librarians need to know how to select the right materials for their libraries, and how to maintain, evaluate, circulate, and promote their collections. The Collection Program in Schools: Concepts and Practices, Fifth Edition is a one-stop resource that thoroughly overviews the policies and procedures for timely and effective collection development for school libraries.





The work is organized by chapters that explain the various tasks involved in effective collection development for school libraries. No other text includes a listing of the advantages, disadvantages, and copyright concerns of various formats. This introductory text also provides guidance on how to write policy and procedure manuals for school libraries; addresses concerns that impact collection development, such as ethical and fiscal issues, the curriculum, the school library environment, and special groups of students; and includes several figures and tables relating to these topics.

Recenzijos

"This title would be a good textbook for a school library student or a librarian who feels that he or she has nobody to turn to for help with decisions. . . . It is current and comprehensive, including selection criteria for almost 35 different formats of material and sample policies, forms, and surveys." - Library Media Connection "Though it is recommended for school librarians and school library paraprofessionals, those who work closely with school libraries will find this book useful in understanding the inner workings of a vibrant and relevant school library collection." - VOYA "Overall, this work remains a useful title, and there are sufficient changes to justify purchase of this new version. It could also serve as supplemental material in school library media management or general collection development courses." - ARBA "Every person working in or learning or teaching about school libraries should read this comprehensive and straightforward textbook and keep it on the bookshelf to refer back to over and over again." - The Library Quarterly

New web 2.0 tools, Delicious for bookmarking, Twitter for research, and virtual libraries have drastically changed the use of a collection on shelves. Today's school library collections reach far beyond the walls of the physical school facility. 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.
