Local Studies Collection Management by Michael Dewe Pdf
A helpful and informative guide for librarians responsible for local studies collections covering the key issues in the twenty-first century. Each chapter is written by a different specialist, covering: resource providers; management of service provision; management of the collection and its materials (from books and pamphlets to microforms, CD-ROMs and websites); information access and retrieval; marketing; dealing with enquiries. Introductory and concluding chapters consider the local collection within its library context, the wider cultural, social, political and economic setting, the international local studies perspective and the future for this specialism in the UK. The guide is aimed principally at public librarians but will be of interest to academic, school and special librarians, library school students, archivists, those working with local history and related societies, and those in charge of private collections.

Developing a Model for School Librarians in Scotland by Cristina Sacco Judge Pdf
This work introduces a model for school libraries in Scotland, based on best practices as identified in the literature, and on five case studies undertaken in schools in the US and Scotland. Our research design is qualitative, and used elements of grounded theory with multiple case study. We chose to conduct case studies in the US and Scotland because Scotland does not fit neatly within the UK model of school librarianship, and much can be learned from the US model, which boasts an impressive body of research suggesting that school libraries there improve student attainment. Our model represents an ideal set of circumstances for school libraries in Scotland, highlighting the interconnected web of influences that affect the success of a school library. These influences primarily fall in three areas: the school librarian, the school environment, and the professional support available to the librarian. The school librarian is the primary driver of the school library programme, but factors in these other two areas can provide opportunities and barriers that can help or hinder the success of the library service. For instance, our findings suggest that school-based factors such as curriculum, scheduling, technology facilities, and staffing can have significant influence over the access the librarian has to teachers and students. Additionally, our previous work suggested that professional associations in the UK and Scotland frustrated and perhaps hindered school librarians, however, our case study findings suggest it is local professional support at the council-level that can hold tremendous influence over the quality of a programme, and the motivation of a librarian rather than the associations. These outside influences have an impact on how well the librarian can achieve professional standards and goals. Our model includes all three areas in describing a set of circumstances that would allow a school library programme to thrive and meet the highest professional standards.
Finding Your Scottish Ancestors by Kirsty F Wilkinson Pdf
Tracing family history has become increasingly popular over the last few decades and the availability of many records online means that those fortunate enough to have Scottish ancestors can easily access many of the sources they need to build their family tree. However, as research progresses, most family historians will eventually hit the dreaded 'brick wall' and find themselves unable to proceed further. This book provides a wealth of information, advice and techniques to help solve these genealogy problems and gives family historians the tools they need to track down even the most elusive forebears. Contents include: sources for Scottish family history research, both traditional archives and online resources; techniques for searching and interpreting genealogical records; planning and recording research and, finally, common genealogy problems and their solutions.
