"Common core standards, OER, STEM, and collection development--where to begin? This book investigates these critical topics together to give you the power to transform your collection and practice and put your school library at the center of STEM"--
This guide demonstrates how to transform a school library collection to integrate resources in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) areas and help learners meet the Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards, focusing on open digital multimedia learning resources. It addresses understanding the nature and importance of STEM and including STEM digital multimedia in library collections; the common standards movement, controversies, and links to STEM and open educational resources; collection analysis and priorities for enriching collections with STEM digital multimedia resources; building collections to meet national standards for STEM; describing and classifying STEM digital resources, including classification guidance for alignment to the Common Core Standards and Next Generation Science Standards; and managing and promoting collections.
