A strategic plan is a useful tool for communicating the purpose of
the library media center (LMC) to the administrators, teachers, and
parents of the school community. An initial benefit is an
assessment of the library program's strengths, weaknesses, and
impact on the teaching and learning process. The library media
specialist should use the planning process to garner greater
support, identify priorities for future direction, provide the
basis for effective budget development, and articulate the LMC's
integral role in the school's instructional program. Based on
Information Power, as well as input from focus groups of
librarians, computer educators, teachers, administrators, and
parents, the authors identified a core of the essential elements
found in quality library media programs. Rubrics developed for this
core provide a foundation for developing and prioritizing goals and
objectives, as well as tools for ongoing evaluation. School library
media centers, often short of time and staff, will welcome this
easy-to-follow blueprint, packed with forms, questions to consider,
templates, rubrics, and charts. From forming a committee and
constructing surveys, to good PR and a consistent evaluation
process, this essential handbook provides the tools to create a
visionary mission statement, the strategic plan that embodies it,
and the steps to implement it.
