As the growth of eBooks and database formats accelerates, selecting reference materials for school library collections has become a complicated process. Like previous editions, Guide to Reference Materials for School Library Media Centers, Sixth Edition is designed to suggest the best material in all formats, on all subjects, and at all levels—to help school librarians find the best resources. To compile this guide, the author reviewed materials in school, public, and community college collections, and confirmed quality by examining published reviews in standard library reviewing guides. The resulting book lists reference tools for school librarians and has major sections recommending general science, humanities, and social science reference books, eBooks, and subscription databases for K-12 library collections. Materials listed come both from publishers who specialize in K-12 materials and publishers whose market is not typically school libraries.

A myriad of exciting opportunities for collaboration and networking await you! This guide shows you how to identify and optimize partnerships that benefit your library media center and help you build a true learning community. In addition to theoretical foundations of collaboration and learning, hands-on guidance is given for teaming up with school members, families, universities, libraries, community agencies, professional organizations, and businesses. A valuable professional reference for school librarians, administrators, teachers, and anyone seeking the skills and intellectual background to nurture a culture of lifelong learning and assume the lead in taking the library media center to the next level.

Finally - a completely new edition of the classic handbook and text for school librarians! Running a School Library Media Center has been expanded and updated to include each and every aspect of school library media operations. Here you will learn how to forge better relationships with teachers, students, and administrators. You will understand how to manage better through appropriate policy-setting, procedure development, budgeting, public relations, and staff training. Cataloging, collection development, weeding, furniture selection, space planning, circulation and more are discussed in detail. Checklists, sample forms, and templates are included to make every task and procedure simpler. Among the special sections are directories of book, periodical, and nonprint vendors; learning skills inventories; important professional statements; and a listing of key listservs and electronic resources. This major work - a goldmine of practical information - is a must have for all school libraries.

These two volumes, published early in 1987 will now be made available for purchase, at a special price, as a Set. They list the contents of two hundred private libraries, as recorded in inventories presented for probate in the Vice-Chancellor's Court at the University of Cambridge between 1535 and 1760. Most of the books listed (as well as the maps and instruments, scientific and musical) reflect the flowering of the late English Renaissance as it affected all levels of the University community from academic potentates to the humblest student. The first volume presents the lists themselves, with brief biographical details of the books' owners, and appendices which include extracts from early wills; the second volume catalogues by author and title the books listed in Volume I, and is further supplied with an index, under broad subject-headings, of the authors represented. Dr. Leedham-Green has assembled one of the largest collections of private book-holdings ever published for this period in this country, comprising some 20,000 titles.
