ELEM: selection aid periodicals

["Odile M. Heisel" <oheisel@PEN.K12.VA.US>]

Dear Netters,
I am starting my first media specialist position in a library where the
previous media specialist subscribed to "Library Talk" and "Booklinks",
but not to "School Library Journal."  This is new for me since when I
worked as a library secretary, the media specialist I worked for used
SLJ exclusively.  My new school has almost 800 students and I will be
doing a lot of purchasing.  I like Library Talk and Booklinks and will
also have access to the Internet including the Booklist web site.  I do
not want to just add SLJ without dropping either Booklinks or Library
Talk.  I do not know if the teachers are also using Booklinks.  I also
have a part time Media Specialist working with me, but she is currently
unavailable.  The Media specialist I am replacing was in charge of
submitting the subscription list and primarily in charge of ordering
materials.  Please send your personal opinions about whether I should
make changes to my subscription order before I submit the order on July
11. Thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
Odile
