HIT- secondary collection development

[Joan Chase <jchase@INTERACCESS.COM>]

Thanks to all who replied to my request for information about recommended
lists of books for an ABA library in Chile - secondary-

Phyllis Novetsky, LMS sent the most recent citation for the HW Wilson
Senior High Catalog and I am passing this information on to the listerv as
well as to the educator in Chile.

Phyllis wrote: The 'Bible' (in my opinon) for High School Library
collections is the SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL CATALOG.  The 15th. edition
(1997-2001) is now in print.  I have just ordered it so here is the
basic information:  HW Wilson, 950 University Avenue, Bronx, NY
10452-4224  800-367-6770.  Price $130.00 S&H $4.00.  This includes the
large hardcover this year, plus the yearly updates to 2001.  Hope this
helps...Phyllis

Some addition ideas from Micki Johnston, Media Specialist were:

H.W. Wilson can't be beat.  If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have
sent that title as well.

BOOKS FOR YOU from the National Council of Teachers of English is
also a good source.

Science News Books (1-800-544-4565) is a great resource for me.

Dale Seymour Publications has excellent math resources.
(1-800-872-1100)

The International Area Rep from Folletts also added that she has supplied
schools in Chile (one of which I have visited and was quite impressed) and
would be available. So, once again LMNET has helped to spread information
that benefits students, teachers and schools. Good job!!
