Please excuse any cross-posting: Elizabeth Downs and I are co-authoring a book for Neal-Schuman Publishers tentatively titled, “Policies for School Library Media Managers: A Sourcebook of Models and Resources Policies for School Library Media Centers”. Our intent is to provide a book for school librarians that describes the whats, whys and wherefores of library policy, and then provides sample forms used to implement those policies (e.g. selection/reconsideration; web publishing; evaluation of staff, etc.) An accompanying CD will include examples of all the forms which the reader may edit and customize to fit their individual needs. Topics will include administration, collaboration, technology, teaching and learning, information access and delivery, community connections, personnel, etc.) We are interested in having as wide a variety of real-world policies and forms available as is possible. Of course, all contributions will be credited in the book. Many such policies and forms are now posted on the web, especially those written at the District level. If your District’s policies are available online, would you please send the URL? But in many cases, the really interesting, policies/ forms may be those you have created to meet the unique needs of you own media center (scheduling, planning with teachers, checking out formerly unknown pieces of equipment— laptops, flash drives—for students.) We would love to use examples of those forms which might help other librarians keep from having to “re-invent the wheel.” So again, if you could reply with a URL or attach a copy of the policy/form, we would be most appreciative. When possible, please include the contact info for the person from whom permission to publish requests should be sent. Please contact me at: shoeblue@mchsi.com or call: 319.338.4361 if you’d like to discuss more particulars. Thanks, Joel Shoemaker, Teacher Librarian South East Junior High, Iowa City, IA shoeblue@mchsi.com 319.338.4361 (h) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
