All of the chapters in this popular school library management textbook have been revised and updated. Written in an accessible, conversational style, it is ideal for student use. Traditional management topics are integrated within chapters that provide a complete overview of the profession and all aspects of school library management. Each chapter has student exercises to pique discussion and critical thought, and the tone of the book is that of an instructor discussing what a school library should look like, with an emphasis on the role of the school librarian as educator. The author addresses the development of the school library media center through the changes in K-12 education over time and explores the way such changes affected school libraries. Attention is given to the leadership responsibility to be an advocate at local, state and national levels. The new National Board for Professional Teaching Standards certification for school librarians is discussed as are budget, facilities, cataloging, copyright, selection of materials, staff evaluation and all the other basic managerial functions. The book is current with discussions of the AASL national guidelines and standards, the USA Patriot Act, and the effect of Internet filtering on school libraries.

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.
