About the Book

This collection of case studies is designed both for the beginner and the experienced professional. The forty-eight cases cover all types of schools (elementary, middle, and high schools; public, private, or parochial in urban, suburban, or rural communities), and examine the four basic aspects of reference work in today's school library media center including: user instruction, information services, readers services, and the study, selection, and evaluation of reference works. Each case presents a problem and provides questions that engage the reader and foster discussion. The changing role of the school library media specialist and emerging issues such as multiculturalism and new technology are emphasized. Guaranteed to spark discussion in a classroom setting or as part of an in-service or conference presentation.

Review :
...an entertaining and provocative series of 48 brief case studies of issues involving user services in the school library...the topics are balanced and...address real issues...-- "Lisca" ...the reader gets a true sense of what it means to work as a school librarian...the cases are realistic; the questions are thought-provoking...a very valuable resource for all those interested in the school library media center.-- "VOYA" Each section concludes with a set of questions...these have the potential for promoting growth among the teaching staff as well as ensuring innumerable long and short term benefits for the students. A recommended addition to the library's professional reading collection.-- "Catholic Library World" Multiculturalism and technology are emphasized in this tool for library students-- "School Library Media Quarterly" The case studies are short and contain enough detail to be helpful...an interesting book.-- "The School Librarian"
