Description
Explore the rich history of public library services to children with the help of this annotated bibliography that describes 428 works published between 1876-2003. The history, planning, policy, research and standards are all covered as well as children's librarianship (education, role, and biography). Forms of literature (both electronic and print) include annual reports, bibliographies, biographies, journal articles, books, brochures, dissertations and policy documents, among others. This volume uniquely features policy statements, reports, and research studies not readily identified in any one source. This bibliography updates the coverage of print materials listed in Library Service to Children: A Guide to the Research, Planning and Policy Literature (American Library Association, 1992). The electronic sources are new, and the coverage of biographical literature and materials about the history of children's services and children's librarianship has been expanded.

Every academic library should have at least one copy of this bibliography, and every professor of librarianship or children's literature should have a desk copy. * Booklist * It will be of interest and use to professionals seeking information in a variety of formats ranging from journals to dissertations and from books to brochures. * School Library Journal * In this update of the 1992 American Library Association edition by Van Orden (emeritus, U. of Washington), she and Pawelak-Kort, a library media specialist at a Seattle high school, present an annotated bibliography to facilitate the location of English-language works about public library services to children and children's librarianship. The 428 entries on works from 1876-2003 specify the research method used.

Appendices include methodological and source funding notes. * Reference and Research Book News *More details
