[LM_NET] collection development help!

["Feil, Rebecca Kathryn" <rkfeil@IMAIL.IU.EDU>]

I am a library and information science grad student and have been assigned to 
create a fictional collection for a middle school grades 6-8.  I have decided to 
develop a collection on the Holocaust, and I can broaden that to World War II.  Our 
budget is $2500.  I am struggling a bit with the background literature section.  
One of the sections is called current publishing developments.  I'm not sure what 
I'm supposed to write for this, if anything at all.  I was also wondering if anyone 
could suggest some useful selection tools, or audio-visual materials?  As far as 
the types of publications I have chosen, so far I've put down graphic novels, 
maps/atlases, encyclopedia, biographies/non-fiction, and fiction.  If anyone has 
any other suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.  I would LOVE any help!
