TARGET: Middle Coll. Dev.

[Sammie Dresser <samdresser@HOTMAIL.COM>]

Hello & Happy Friday Everyone!
I am a recent graduate of CUA in DC w/MSLS and this is my first library job.
  I became the librarian at the Manassas Park Middle School (VA) in August
and I need your guidance!!  Apparently until Feb. 99, this  school served
grades 7-12.  When the HS moved into its new building in 2/99, this became
the MS w/grades 6-8.  Our collection is lacking in almost every area
(reference as well as leisure reading).  It's not like I can see a gaps in
subject areas that need to be filled, it a cavern with everything needing to
be filled!  The big push in VA is teaching to SOLs (Standards of Learning)
as established by the Commonwealth and this library needs to have the
resources to support them.  I am interested in print as well as CD sources
and I am open to any and all of your suggestions. At this point, my goal is
to establish a good foundation of resources and then build upon it every
year. I have a fairly decent budget, but I also realize that this is a
long-term project that will years to develop.  Please e-mail me back and I
will take your responses and compile a HIT on the topic back to the LM
listserv.  I thank you in advance for your assistance.

Sammie Dresser, Librarian
