Re: [LM_NET] Professional magazine

[Barbara Paciotti <barupa@SWBELL.NET>]

To Joy,
Have tried to send twice to your email address without success, so will 
post to listserv.

Regarding a single choice for a professional magazine, my personal 
preference is LMC (Library Media Connection). It has more in the way of 
lessons & other practical applications than SLJ & also has quite a 
number of book reviews.

There is also School Librarian's Workshop which has some really great 
lessons for Primary all the way through HS. It's only published about 6 
times a year and is more like a large brochure than a journal, but I 
really like all the stuff offered. It's written by a couple Library 
Professors.

I find SLJ's articles not as helpful for a school situation--very few 
worthwhile lessons-- and its value as a book review journal is not as 
critical when many book reviews can be accessed on all the major book 
vendors' websites, even Amazon.com. SLJ has value as a journal of the 
profession, but considering the horrific price they charge for it, I'd 
rather have the lessons provided by LMC or SLW.
