Every aspect of our school library profession builds on a quality
school library collection. You can't be a stellar school librarian
without access to quality school library materials."" 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.
Amelia Earhart--pioneer, adventurer, pilot
As a child, Amelia Earhart wondered why there were no horoines in
her favorite adventure stories. She resolved to change that when
she grew up. And so she did, becoming one of the pioneers of
aviation. Not only was Amelia Earhart the first woman in the world
to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, she was the first person to cross
it twice. Her life became a great adventure story--and a great
mystery, too. In 1937, on an around-the-world flight, Amelia
disappeared. Today, her courage and sprit remain an inspiration to
everyone who flies or dreams of adventure.
