LM_NET: Library Media Networking
Hello,
I am wondering if $15 is the average school library price for a picture
book or if with discounts the price would be lower. I know there was
discussion recently about finding the price of books in School Library
Journal, but I don't remember which issue everyone said this could be
found in.
Also, I have been doing some research on the use of multicultural
picture books in elementary school media centers. This included
observing lessons at 4 elementary school media centers, talking with the
media specialists regarding picture book buying criteria, and counting
and content examination of part of each picture book collection, as well
as a pretty broad literature review (which I'm still working on).
My opinion, based on the above research, is that although there are
great quantities written about diversity and multiculturalism,
collections and the books being published have not changed in as high a
percentage as would be expected from the aforementioned ample writings.
I'm wondering if most of you would agree with my view or disagree with
my view and if you disagree why? I will post a hit if other people are
interested.
Thanks in advance for any help or opinions you are willing to share!
