The School Library Manager: Surviving and Thriving (Library and Information Science Text)

Product Description

This sixth edition of Library Unlimited's classic school library management text describes new approaches to management and addresses the realities that school librarians face in today's quickly evolving information-based world.

In recent years, nearly all school libraries and school librarians have been targeted for having their funding or staffing cut as a result of reductions in school budgets. How does a newly graduated LIS professional prepare for a career in this volatile environment? How do established librarians and administrators prove their value and necessity to decision makers?

This freshly updated edition of The School Library Manager is an invaluable textbook that leads readers through the many essential management tasks and skills required to administer the successful school library program and beyond. It promotes the leadership role of the school librarian in the school and addresses the need for school librarians to provide students with equal access to information. The information presented will not only enable librarians to keep their jobs but also supply specific guidance and inspiration that gives readers the ability to make their positions and libraries undeniably relevant and valuable―and to ensure a path of upward mobility in their LIS careers.

• Newly updated to offer additional insight into the challenges of leadership in changing school environments and specific information for school administration

• Addresses and emphasizes the value of school librarians in education and student achievement―information to be shared with school administration in an advocacy appeal
