The School Library Media Center Fifth Edition

By Joyce S Prostano, Emanuel T. Prostano, Joyce S. Prostano, et al.

With a focus on the successful management of the school library media center as a system, the new edition of this authoritative work addresses and integrates the many trends and developments of the past decade. Contents are divided into three parts. Part 1 describes the impact of global forces and the school district on the development and operation of the media center. It also has a new section that deals with the technical and human side of management and a discussion of how the library functions as an information superhighway. Part 2 examines the library's programmatic activities within the context of its goals. Supportive services offered by the SLMC to students and teachers include guidance and consultant services, instruction and in-service, media production, and curriculum development and improvement. In Part 3 the authors address the nature, quality, and quantity of resources available to support programmatic endeavors-personnel, media, technology, facilities, and funds. The ability to acces
