Raktažodžiai:
The perfect book for teaching the administration of school library media centers. After a brief history of the role of the media specialist, readers learn how to choose a credential program, how to find the requirements for working in each of the 50 states, what to do when looking for and choosing a job, and how to survive the first week in that new position. Chapters then expand on the challenges of the first week, introducing collections, facilities, personnel, and technology. Sections also cover: collaborating with teachers, how to write a proposal, and how to accept leadership responsibilities, including the role of a media specialist in the legislative process.





This revision updates information and changes some of the emphasis from previous editions, particularly in the areas of the role of the library media specialist in the teaching of reading, the assessment of student learning, the leadership role of the school librarian, and the impact of new technologies on the management of the library media center.

Recenzijos

"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... .a valuable resource." - School Library Journal "Anyone looking for a thorough guide to school library media center management will find it in Blanche Woolls's The School Library Media Manager, now in its fourth edition. Woolls covers the topic comprehensively, from choosing an education program and then a job to running a facility and playing a leadership role in one's school." - American Libraries "The fourth edition of this popular textbook for creating and sustaining a school library media program." - Teacher Librarian "Bottom line: Highly recommended as a textbook for beginners but also as a brush-up for those who have been around for a while." - Teacher Librarian "This book will enlighten the student interested in this field as well as provide benchmarks for the seasoned veteran. Woollss thorough blueprints should be used as the textbook in every school media library course and be on the professional shelf of every K-12 school library media center." - ARBA "This book has excellent advice and examples for the new and mid-career school media center specialist. It is highly recommended for its organization, simplicity of language but thoroughness of topic, and coverage that is relevant to today's problems and issues." - Collection Management
