 Practical help! July 30, 2007

RASLMC is a great practical helper for the school librarian/media specialist. It contains websites, forms and practical ideas. It is a bit dated though, 2002.
 Recommended Manual May 15, 2007
I purchased this book for a Library Science class that I am currently taking. This manual is very useful and informative for any veteran or new comer to the library media center. It covers all aspects of the library media center from forms used to helpful vendor listings. I highly recommend this manual for anyone working in a library media center.

Now in an updated and expanded second edition, Running A School Library Media Center: A How-To-Do-It Manual For Librarians by Barbara L. Stein (Professor, University of North Texas School of Library and Information Sciences) and Risa W. Brown (Library Media Specialist, Lake Highlands High School, Dallas, Texas), is a highly practical, "user friendly", how-to guide for librarians charged with developing, maintaining, and operating a private, parochial, or public school library media center. Individual chapters cover key issues including the efficient maintenance, building a collection, hiring and working with staff, promoting literacy, and much more. A comprehensive selection of appendix provides numerous resources at a librarian's fingertips, from lists of book an periodical vendors, to sources of reviews, to handling software packages that filter inappropriate Internet content. Running A School Library Media Center is fundamentally recommended for all dedicated school librarians.
