[LM_NET] TAR: Need help with Central Media Resource Center review

[Louise Gorvett <Louise.Gorvett@WCDSB.CA>]

Hello friends,

 

A couple weeks ago I sent out a version of this request, but didn't get
any response...  I'm hoping that someone (or several someone(s)!) will
be able to respond, as we really need some help on this topic.  If your
district has a central library which has undergone a review - or if you
have thoughts on what a "model" central resource centre should include -
could you please contact me?

 

My school district, with 45 elementary schools and 4 high schools, is
about to undertake a review of our central Media Resource Centre.  As
part of the review, staff have been asked to identify the elements of a
"model school district media resource center", and name the
roles/services that should be provided. I have searched the archives and
haven't found a great deal of recent information (other than people
bemoaning upcoming cuts to their central library services!).   

I am particularly interested in:

 

a)       Hearing from school districts which have done reviews of their
central library media services, and the recommendations which were made

b)      names of journal articles which might be useful in defining a
model central library media center

c)       any opinions on what's required of a model central library
media services

 

Thanks very much.  I will post a HIT.
