Autor: Mona Kerby
Sinopse: Applying an informal and practical approach, Kerby provides beginning librarians with the essential steps to effectively manage a vibrant school library collection. Kerby argues that building a quality collection is no longer enough and offers strategies to ensure that learners actively engage with the materials. Supported by the National School Library Standards and ALA/AASL/CAEP standards for university preparation programs, this resource introduces the key components that influence collection development today, including policies, practices, and selection sources to evaluate, weed, and build dynamic and diverse school library collections; methods and examples for analyzing collection, curriculum, and community needs; strategies for showcasing the school library collection to learners and stakeholders; and charts, checklists, worksheets, discussion questions, and tips from practicing school librarians.
By focusing on the basics, readers can begin to reflect on and customize plans for action. A timesaver for the busy school librarian, this collection development digest is the tool you need to ensure success.
