This is the most comprehensive textbook on school library administration available, now updated to include the latest standards and address new technologies. This reference text provides a complete instructional overview of the workings of the library media center—from the basics of administration, budgeting, facilities management, organization, selection of materials, and staffing to explanations on how to promote information literacy and the value of digital tools like blogs, wikis, and podcasting. Since the publication of the fourth edition of Administering the School Library Media Center in 2004, many changes have altered the landscape of school library administration: the implementation of NCLB legislation and the revision of AASL standards, just to mention two. The book is divided into 14 chapters, each devoted to a major topic in school library media management. This latest edition gives media specialists a roadmap for designing a school library that is functional and intellectually stimulating, while leading sources provide guidance for further research.

This helpful collection of case studies is designed both for the school reference beginner and the experienced professional. Covers all types of schools (elementary, middle, and high schools; public, private, or parochial in urban, suburban, or rural communities) and examines the four basic aspects of reference work in today's school library media center: user instruction, information services, readers services, and the study, selection, and evaluation of reference works.

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. It explores the impact of global forces and the school district on the development and operation of the media center and examines the library's programmatic activities within the context of its goals. The book also addresses the nature, quality, and quantity of resources available to support programmatic endeavors -- personnel, media, technology, facilities, and funds. Management skills are emphasized throughout the text.
