- How to develop good practice in school library provision?
As changes of curricula and of school management practices become
a continuing feature of the educational environment, school libraries
have to respond quickly so as to meet the needs of pupils and
staff. This valuable book contains the results of a number of
action research projects concerned with this challenging process.
-
- There have been few detailed accounts of school libraries
in their organizational context; this book provides a thorough
analysis of the role of the school library in the light of new
curriculum developments. Evidence of good practice is explored,
particularly in relation to the availability of new learning
resources. The librarian's pivotal position in the integration
of the school library into the whole school has been frequently
acknowledged; here it is given centre-stage.

case.... the whole book is a valuable reminder of the important
role of the professional librarian in schools.'

- 'follows a logical and professional sequence, with insights
into the human factors influencing the change process.... the

relate to each situation.'
