The School Library Manager

"The School Library Manager: Fifth Edition" is simply the ideal guide for school library media specialists, especially for those new to the field. After a brief introduction that describes the history of the role of the media specialist, the book covers how to choose a credential program, identify the requirements for working in each of the 50 states, and avoid the pitfalls of looking for and choosing a job. The text even supplies a first-week "survival guide" for excelling in that new position from the beginning, covering the challenges of introducing collections, facilities, personnel, and technology. Critical subject matter such as librarian/teacher collaboration, proposal writing, tackling leadership, and the role of a school librarian in the legislative process are addressed as well. This latest version of this established, "go-to" text provides updated coverage of student learning assessment, supplies new information on managing digital and virtual libraries and collections as well as social media in the library media center, and supplies careful attention to key strategies to meet AASL and Common Core standards.
