Most elementary schools and over half of our middle schools are run by library clerks with no professional librarians at all in the district to help them. One library clerk said she was given the key to the library and pointed in that direction. That was the extent of her training. Therefore, my staff and I are developing a guide for school library clerks, titled, "Where Do I Start? A School Library Handbook." We have developed most of the content and used it in a 4 day workshop last week. We hope to have it ready for sale by the end of October, priced around $25. We are looking for the best books and resources to include in selected bibliographies for each section. Please let me know what you have really used and found to be the best resources in any of the following areas (complete citations, if possible): 1. Library mission and purpose 2. Roles and responsibilities of library staff 3. Library facilities, organization and design 4. Dewey Decimal System, cataloging/classification 5. Children's literature 6. Booktalking and storytelling 7. Policies - selection, challenge, censorship 8. Public relations 9. Library environment - displays, merchandizing, bulletin boards 10. Acquisitions, processing of materials 11. Automation 12. Selection of materials, selection tools, collection development 13. Weeding 14. Electronic reference tools 15. Internet use and management 16. Teaching library skills and information literacy 17. Library resources - organizations, training Please reply and, if enough folks are interested, I'll post a HIT.
