Managing Your School Library and Information Service

Focusing on the library as an intrinsic part of the secondary or high school, this practical handbook provides the school librarian with the skills, knowledge and competencies that are needed to make a school library effective in the 21st century. The school's organization and current learning and curriculum matters are seen as equally important to the technical aspects of a school librarian's role. Linking all of these issues is management, either for a single-person unit or an organization with a large number of staff. Using case studies and comments from a large number of school librarians, this text is intended for teachers, headteachers and all those involved in school policy-making.
