Hi.  2-3 weeks ago I asked the following:

I am in the process of compiling a list of seminal readings for a seminar
in school library media.  I am very interested in the opinions of
LM_NETTERS concerning:

- key readings (journal articles, book chapters, etc.) in school
library media

- key readings in other fields (education, business, technology,
communication, etc.) that are relevant to school library media.


I've had numerous responses and discussions with people. I thank you all
for responding. Many of those responding clearly gave this much thought,
time, and effort.  The following is a compilation of responses (to the
best of my ability).  Hope I didn't leave any out.  The list is not
comprehensive one, just a compilation of what LM_NETTERS are thinking.

Enjoy and happy holidays,

Mike
