| Abstract | Managing a school library can be overwhelming, especially for school librarians who are just beginning in the profession, or for practicing librarians who want to improve their collection. Our readers need access to quality materials-- but the shelves may be filled with dusty, outdated, and inaccurate materials. Kerby approaches collection management with succinct, practical, and to-the-point information. There are worksheets at the end of each chapter for you to craft your own action plan. -- adapted from Introduction. |
