Amongst other key topics the Guidelines cover: * Providing quality resources * Information literacy * Reader development * Pro-active marketing * Evaluation * Partnerships and the wider community. Developed with an international audience in mind, these guidelines provide a comprehensive and flexible model for a modern school library service.
