Beginning Cataloging 

Jean Weihs and Sheila S. Intner 

This pragmatic approach combines short 

instructional explanations with extensive examples 

and exercises. The reader will learn how to apply 

standard descriptive cataloging rules to assign 

subject headings and classification numbers and to 

create electronic records. The book begins by 

examining the cataloging-in-publication data 

found on the verso of most books. Then, chapterby-chapter, 

it explains how this data can be 

developed into a complete bibliographic record 

that can be used in an online public catalog. 

Covering all types of material formats, including 

books, audiovisuals, images, sound, electronic 

resources, and more, Beginning Cataloging 

conveys cataloging principles and practical 

methods for implementing them, empowering 

students with an understanding of the language of 

cataloging. Useful for library technicians and those 

working in areas where formal training is not accessible, the book can also be used as a workbook in 

formal education programs or distance education programs. 

JEAN WEIHS has taught cataloging to librarians, library technicians, and school librarians in Canada 

for 50 years, and was a visiting professor at two U.S. universities.

FAST: Faceted Application 

of Subject Terminology 


Lois Mai Chan and Edward T. O’Neill 

Two members of the original design team 

introduce a metadata scheme almost anyone 

can learn! 

While The Library of Congress Subject Headings 

(LCSH) is perhaps the best known bibliographic 

control system in existence, it is cumbersome and 

not always user-friendly. Faceted Application of 

Subject Terminology (or FAST) is designed to 

rework LCSH’s authority rules, so that they are 

easier to use, understand, and apply. The result is a 

schema designed to handle a large volume of 

materials with less effort and cost. To this end, two 

members of the original design team have put 

together numerous examples of FAST-driven 

projects including traditional monographs, special 

collections (archives, business records), electronic 

resources, and websites. The result is a prototype designed to be used not just by experienced 

catalogers but people with minimal training and experience.

Doing Things with Information 

Beyond Indexing and Abstracting 

Brian C. O’Connor, Jodi Kearns and Richard L. Anderson 

“This is not a ‘how to’ guide for people who want to learn how 

to style an abstract or create an index. Instead, the authors 

ambitiously attempt to examine information in various formats 

and present strategies that librarians can use to better assist 

patrons find needed information within information systems. 

This is a dense book for people who like to think about how 

information is created and the role librarians and their systems 

have within the search process. Recommended for large 

libraries that support computer science and/or library science programs.” 

THE TECH STATIC, JANUARY 9, 2009 

Indexing and abstracting often fail because too much emphasis is put on the mechanics of 

description and too little on what ought to be represented. Doing Things with Information seeks to 

rectify this unfortunate situation by emphasizing methods of modeling and constructing appropriate 

representations of such questions and documents. Students in programs of information studies will 

find focal points for discussion about system design and refinement of existing systems. Librarians, 

scholars, and those who work within large document collections, whether paper or electronic, will 

find insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the access systems they use.

Library of Congress Subject Headings 



Lois Mai Chan 

This book is the only comprehensive treatise on the Library of Congress 

Subject Headings (LCSH) system. It offers users a complete and 

definitive guide to a challenging area of study. Chan presents a brief 

history of the system, analyzes its principles, and describes its 

vocabulary and subject authority control. She then discusses the 

application of LC subject headings to LC MARC records and outlines 

the Library of Congress’s policies on the assignment of subject headings 

in general and the treatment of certain types of materials in particular. 

This new edition updates the text according to policies governing current practices in using LCSH, 

and the highlighted relevance of LCSH in the global electronic environment. Part 3, completely 

rewritten, includes a chapter on FAST (Faceted Application of Subject Terminology), which is an 

LCSH-based controlled vocabulary for electronic resources.

More Technology 

for the Rest of Us 

A Second Primer on Computing 

for the Non-IT Librarian 


While librarians are affected by technology in 

every aspect of their jobs, they are often unfamiliar 

with—even unaware of—new developments. 

Yet taking advantage of these technologies 

enhances the library experience for patrons, 

makes librarians’ jobs far easier, and makes their 

days more productive. 

From cloud computing to data curation to opensource 

software, the world of technology offers 

great opportunity—and potential frustration. 

Nancy Courtney and her team of IT experts have 

set out to enhance the former and alleviate the 

latter. More Technology for the Rest of Us: A 

Second Primer on Computing for the Non-IT 

Librarian follows up on Courtney’s 2005 

technology volume by tackling the most recent 

advances in IT. Each chapter describes a 

technology important to the library field, explains how it works in terms a non-IT professional can 

understand, and describes its uses. 

The essays in More Technology for the Rest of Us are not meant to make readers experts, but to 

provide a basic introduction to some of the current technologies impacting libraries and their 

patrons. Articles are brief and clearly written, and computer jargon is defined and explained. Each 

chapter lists references for further information, and there is a selected bibliography and glossary at 

the end of the book. 

FEATURES: 

•Eleven chapters explain technology topics of interest to librarians 

•Contributors are IT librarians from academic and public libraries 

•Each chapter offers both print and online resources for further information 

•A glossary of terms clarifies library technology topics discussed in the book 

HIGHLIGHTS: 

•Offers librarians a basic understanding of IT terms and processes that may be unfamiliar 

•Improves overall technological literacy for library school students and practicing librarians who are 

not information technology professionals 

•Will help librarians communicate more effectively with systems personnel, IT users, and funding 

authorities

hardcore Internet-philes to the mainstream of the web’s infinite flow of information. Now, Web 2.0’s 

applications are finding a place in a variety of professional endeavors—and nowhere with more 

usefulness and potential than in the realm of specialized document collection and archiving. 

This volume includes separate chapters on the new tools of Web 2.0, including wikis, blogs, 

photosharing, and different social networks, a helpful bibliography of print and online resources for 

further reading and a glossary of terms with definitions of important web tools and acronyms.

Library Programs Online 

Possibilities and Practicalities of Web Conferencing 

Thomas A. Peters 

Meet your library patrons where they increasingly live and work— 

online. This guide introduces you to the exciting possibilities online 

programs offer, and shows you how to set up online programs in your 

library—whether one-time stand-alone or half-day, full-day, or multi-day 

workshops and conferences. Public programs—from lectures, 

demonstrations, and interviews to book discussions and story hours— 

can be delivered in real time (live) primarily over the web, utilizing 

a variety of interactive communication tools, including voice-over-IP, 

text chatting, and co-browsing. Furthermore, online programming can be used for district-wide 

staff training. 

The author explains how to integrate pre-recorded components of a program into a live, online 

public program; shows how to extend the reach and appeal of online public programs with 

podcasting and audiorecordings; and explains how to use voice-over-IP and video-over-IP to 

enhance online programs. In addition to outlining the costs of staring and operating a public online 

program, Peters also provides cost recovery methods and scenarios.

rather, each chapter simply explains an online tool, and how it 

is being used today, using a few superb library examples 

(ranging from public to academic), and then discusses future 

possibilities. The suggested readings exemplify the notion of 

Web 2.0 and publishing, as the recommendations are well 

balanced between journal articles and freely accessible blog 

entries. This is a must-have to any library wanting to stay relevant in today’s everchanging

Joseph B. Miller 

Why another book about the Internet? The answer is simple: while there 

are a number of excellent books on various aspects of networking, the 

Internet, HTML, web design, web programming, XML, and web 

searching, there is not a single survey text that explores each of these 

topics holistically in the context of the knowledge and skill needs of 

those preparing for careers in any of the many information technology 

(IT) intensive fields such as library and information science (LIS), business 

and management information systems (MIS), and decision science (DIS), 

to name but a few. In so doing, this foundational text offers its readers 

both a comprehensive overview of basic counseling and tested solutions to a variety of technical 

situations. The perfect introduction for students lacking technological expertise who are called upon 

to demonstrate a working knowledge of basic concepts and applications.

Information Technology in Librarianship 

New Critical Approaches 

Gloria J. Leckie and John E. Buschman, Editors 

“The new edition, subtitled New Critical Approaches, examines 

six types of critiques, among them feminist technology analysis 

and technological utopia, in a series of chapters by prominent 

scholars. Required reading for anyone interested in critical 

theory relating to technology.” 

AMERICAN LIBRARIES, MARCH 1, 2009 

In the last 15 years, the ground—both in terms of technological advance 

and in the sophistication of analyses of technology—has shifted. At the same time, librarianship as a 

field has adopted a more skeptical perspective; libraries are feeling market pressure to adopt and use 

new innovations; and their librarians boast a greater awareness of the socio-cultural, economic, and 

ethical considerations of information and communications technologies. Within such a context, a 

fresh and critical analysis of the foundations and applications of technology in librarianship is long 

overdue.

ORGANIZATION 

The Organization 

of Information 

Third Edition 

Arlene G. Taylor and Daniel N. Joudrey 

“With chapters on the many complex 

methods one must deal with to maintain 

the integrity of original documents, items, 

and other important subjects, The Organization 

of Information is complete and comprehensive 

in its application. The Organization 

of Information is enhanced with bibliographies, 

indexes, glossaries, and more, making 

it an absolute must for any archive which 

wants to serve its purpose well.” 

THE MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW, APRIL 1, 2009 

This third edition of Taylor’s modern classic 

continues to articulate the theory, principles, 

standards, and tools behind information 

organization. As with previous editions, it begins 

with strong justification for the continued 

importance of organizing principles and practice. Following a broad overview of the concept and its 

role in human endeavors, Taylor and Joudrey provide a detailed and insightful discussion of such 

basic retrieval tools as inventories, bibliographies, catalogs, indexes, finding aids, registers, databases, 

major bibliographic utilities, and other organizing entities; and subsequently trace the development 

of the organization of recorded information in Western civilization from 2000 B.C.E. to the present. 

Standards of codification (MARC, SGML, and various DTDs), controlled vocabularies and 

ontologies, and Web 2.0 technologies are but a sample of its extensive topical coverage. 

This is still the title of choice for students and professionals eager to embrace the heritage, 

immediacy, and future of this fascinating field of study. 

FEATURES: 

•Restructured and expanded sections on metadata (description, access, and access control) and subject 

analysis and aboutness 

•Significant revisions to sections dealing with indexing and abstracting, systems and system design,

Librarian’s Guide to Online Searching 


Suzanne S. Bell 

The ability to understand and navigate online environments and 

databases is fast becoming an essential skill for librarians. Now in a 

revised and updated edition, this book provides a handy guide for 

librarians in every conceivable information environment and across all 

levels of experience. 

To succeed as searchers, all librarians require both a basic idea of how 

databases are put together, and a repository of concepts and techniques 

to draw upon. With such essentials well in hand, the searcher can 

plunge into almost any database that comes along and master its 

intricacies (and idiosyncrasies) in relatively short order. Bell’s conversational style, coupled with her 

Searcher’s Toolbox, promises increased flexibility and adaptability.

RESEARCH 

Applications of Social Research 

Methods to Questions in Information 

and Library Science 

Barbara M. Wildemuth 

For many practitioners, best practices are often developed through 

significant amounts of direct experience. However, they can also be 

developed through the examination and application of research findings. 

By critically assessing existing studies within library and information 

science, both aspiring and experienced professionals can acquire a 

deeper understanding of available methods, as well as design more 

effective studies. In what is surely the first of its kind for librarians, 

Barbara Wildemuth has created a book that mirrors the process of 

conducting a research study; at the same time, she exposes the reader to a wealth of competing and 

complementary techniques. Each chapter introduces a particular research method, points out its 

relative strengths and weaknesses, and provides a critique of two or more exemplary studies. An 

invaluable guide for librarians, educators and students alike.

Viewing Library Metrics 

from Different Perspectives 

Inputs, Outputs, and Outcomes 

Robert E. Dugan, Peter Hernon, 

and Danuta A. Nitecki 

Viewing Library Metrics from Different 

Perspectives: Inputs, Outputs, and Outcomes helps 

academic librarians go well beyond the basic 

guideposts of inputs and outputs to explore a wide 

range of metrics for measuring their effectiveness 

and improving performance. Based on their 

groundbreaking article, “Outcomes Assessment: 

Not Synonymous with Inputs and Outputs,” Robert 

Dugan and Peter Hernon, along with coauthor 

Danuta Nitecki, give libraries the tools they need 

to see beyond their own walls and interpret both 

outcome and impact metrics from the perspective 

of the parent institution, the customer, and the 

stakeholder, as well as the library itself. 

Viewing Library Metrics from Different Perspectives 

makes a convincing argument for targeting the right audience with the right metric. The first three 

chapters introduce key concepts and the relevant literature, and helps libraries make the crucial 

distinction between assessment and evaluation. Chapters four through nine examine the four 

perspectives and their attendant metrics. The final chapters discuss how best to present and interpret 

the results. 

FEATURES: 

•Offers a complementary, continually updated website that lets readers work hands-on with different 

metrics 

•Includes a wide-ranging bibliography that goes beyond library and information science 

•Provides appendices that summarize the text and illustrate the numerous metrics that are relevant 

to libraries 

•Includes a comprehensive index that draws together diverse literature and terminology 

HIGHLIGHTS: 

•Helps academic libraries see themselves through the eyes of their patrons, institutions, and students 

•Gives librarians access to more than proven 100 metrics for measuring accountability and service 

•Clarifies the difference between benchmarking and best practices

Scorecards for Results 

A Guide for Developing a Library Balanced Scorecard 

Joseph R. Matthews 

“Matthews has developed a BSC workbook for public 

libraries.... Individual chapters here detail the six steps in 

developing and using a balanced scorecard, with sample vision 

statements, strategic themes, and performance measures. A 

glossary and numerous diagrams enhance the how-to text.” 

LIBRARY JOURNAL, NOVEMBER 15, 2008 

The Balanced Scorecard is a performance measurement tool first 

popularized by Robert Kaplan and David Norton (who also penned the foreword to this book) in a 

1993 Harvard Business Review article. It involves matching a variety of measures with one or more 

expected values—from each of four perspectives (financial, customer, internal process, and 

organizational readiness)—tracking results, and analyzing any variance between them. As in 

baseball, organizations come away with both a snapshot of the present and a sense of where they 

are headed. 

JOSEPH R. MATTHEWS has assisted numerous libraries and local governments in a wide variety of 

projects, and teaches regularly in the areas of library information systems, strategic planning, and 

evaluation of library services.

Joseph R. Matthews 

“This is a highly readable book. The writing is clear and concise 

and is accompanied by bullet lists, figures, and tables to 

summarize key points. The references at the end of each chapter 

provide the reader a set of excellent biographies. The book can 

serve as a textbook for those teaching introductory library 

evaluation and management, a selectable review for those 

seeking ideas for conducting an evaluation of specific services, 

or a reference tool for identifying sources and brief descriptions 

in response to questions about library evaluation and measurement.” 

LIBRARY & INFORMATION SCIENCE RESEARCH, JULY 2, 2008 

This comprehensive overview of library evaluation tools and practices gives library managers the 

background to develop better service outcomes, improve stakeholders’ perceptions of the value of 

the library, and build stronger support for the library in the community it serves.

Leading from the Middle, 

and Other Contrarian Essays 

on Library Leadership 

John Lubans, Jr. 

This compilation reveals how followers help an 

organization get better and how effective 

followers—leading from the middle—are essential 

to the best kind of leadership. 

In Leading from the Middle, and Other Contrarian 

Essays on Library Leadership, John Lubans, Jr., 

argues for democratic library organizations with 

shared leadership and decision making by leaders 

and followers. His book distills 15 years worth of 

leadership essays to advance a theory of a 

collaborative and empowering leadership, 

touching on such subjects as teamwork, 

empowerment, “followership,” challenges, values, 

coaching, self-management, collaboration, 

communication, and techniques and tools. 

Lubans’s 36 essays draw new and insightful 

perspectives on leadership from disparate realms: 

travel, sports, music, retail businesses, and airlines. All of the essays have been edited and revised 

for this book and many have been extensively updated with new material and epilogues. The essays 

flow from the author’s experience as a manager/leader, his teaching of the topic, and his research 

into and experimentation with organizational leadership. Insights and suggestions are tempered by 

a candid reflection on successes achieved and mistakes made. 

FEATURES: 

• Case studies, self-help quizzes, and discussion of management classics augment essay content 

• Photographs and illustrations emphasize points made within selected essays 

HIGHLIGHTS: 

• Offers a practitioner's experiences and reflections 

• Teaches how to become an effective leader in spite of yourself, as well as how to be an effective 

follower 

• Offers alternative ways to make organizational progress based on lessons drawn from other 

industries 

JOHN LUBANS, JR. writes and teaches about library leadership and teamwork. His career has 

included senior administrative posts at large research libraries, most recently as a deputy university 

librarian. For two decades, he was visiting professor at the School of Library and Information 

Sciences at North Carolina Central University. He holds master's degrees in library science from the 

University of Michigan and in public administration from the University of Houston. He has 

published extensively on management and leadership, Internet use, user education, and teamwork.

The Social Transcript 

Uncovering Library Philosophy 

Charles B. Osburn 

“Retired from active academic work, 

Osburn introduces a philosophy for the 

library, using the processes of cultural 

evolution as a context for understanding 

why—rather than how—the social 

institution functions. The concept of the 

library and the practice within it are 

confused in the minds both of the public 

and scholars, he argues, so that misleading 

conceptions and fundamental 

misunderstandings about what the library is 

and why it exists arise easily and often. His 

topics include strategic considerations, a 

cultural technology, and stewardship of the 

social transcript.” 

REFERENCE & RESEARCH BOOK NEWS, 

MAY 1, 2009 

Many glimpses into what might be called library 

philosophy are scattered throughout the literatures 

of library history and library and information 

science, but none has coalesced as yet. Conversely, theories relative to the operation of libraries, 

rather than relative to why its operations are necessary in the first place, are exceedingly abundant. 

Not surprisingly, fundamental misunderstandings are shared among public, scholar, and librarian 

about what the library is and why it exists. Adapting the work of Kenneth Boulding, Osburn presents 

a cogent, well substantiated explanation of why the library refuses to cede its position as a cultural 

icon; and how it not only continues but flourishes throughout the trials and errors of civilization.

PUBLIC SERVICES 

Introduction to Library 

Public Services 


G. Edward Evans and Thomas L. Carter 

“This book introduces library support staff 

and volunteers to the nature, purposes, and 

challenges of library public services.…It 

contains four new chapters, on staffing and 

training for public service duties, customer 

service, special services programming, and 

assessment.” 

REFERENCE & RESEARCH BOOK NEWS, 

MAY 1, 2009 

“This library-science text stands alone and 

should be an assigned text in most library 

schools. It would not be out of line for 

department managers in any type of library 

to assign readings to their frontline staff and 

have formal staff discussions or more 

informal water-cooler interchanges.” 

BOOKLIST, APRIL 15, 2009 

A library’s primary function is to provide access to information considered useful or valuable to the 

society in which they exist. True to their introduction, Evans and Carter provide a solid, broadly 

based view of library public service and its functions. As in the preceding edition, its authors marry 

the importance of the help ethos with a plethora of technological tools and techniques. Coverage of 

such essential topics as circulation, reference, interlibrary loan, literacy instruction, reserves, and 

security has been extended, updated, and predicated on the importance of keeping a watchful eye 

on ethical and legal implications. New to this edition are discussions of staffing and training, 

customer service, programming, and assessment. The result brings into focus the duties and 

responsibilities of both professional librarians and support staff, with particular emphasis on areas of 

common concern.

REFERENCE 

Forthcoming 

Reference and Information 

Services 

An Introduction 


Richard E. Bopp and Linda C. Smith 

Reflecting the dramatic changes shaped by rapidly 

developing technologies over the past six years, 

this new fourth edition of Reference and 

Information Services takes the introduction to 

reference sources and services significantly 

beyond the content of the first three editions. In 

Part I, Concepts and Processes, chapters have been 

revised and updated to reflect new ideas and 

methods in the provision of reference service in an 

era when many users have access to the web. In 

Part II, Information Sources and Their Use, 

discussion of each source type has been updated 

to encompass key resources in print and on the 

web, where an increasing number of freely 

available sources join those purchased or licensed 

by libraries. 

A number of new authors are contributors to this new edition, bringing to their chapters their 

experience as teachers of reference and as practitioners in different types of libraries. Discussions of 

services in Part I integrate digital reference as appropriate to each topic, such as how to conduct a 

reference interview online using instant messaging. Boxes interspersed in the text are used to present 

scenarios for discussion, to highlight key concepts, or to present excerpts from important documents. 

Discussions of sources in Part II place more emphasis on designing effective search strategies using 

both print and digital resources. The chapter on selection and evaluation of sources addresses the 

changing nature of reference collections and how to evaluate new types of sources. Each chapter 

concludes with an updated list of additional readings to guide further study. 

A new companion web site will provide links to web-accessible readings and resources as well as 

additional scenarios for discussion and example search strategies to supplement those presented in 

the text.

GENEALOGY 

Basics of Genealogy Reference 

A Librarian’s Guide 

Jack Simpson 

“This book contains excellent information to 

assist librarians in serving patrons seeking 

help with their genealogical or family 

history research. It includes many good 

illustrated samplings of genealogical and 

family history records and research 

techniques...This work is recommended for 

all reference collections, with circulating 

copies for library patrons. Libraries should 

provide free personal copies for each 

reference librarian to mark up for 

themselves for use during consultations with 

genealogical or family history patrons.” 

ARBA, MARCH 1, 2009 

“Basics of Genealogy Reference: A 

Librarian’s Guide is aimed at those who 

control the most effective of a genealogist’s 

resources: the library....[It’s] a must for the modern librarian.” 

THE MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW, FEBRUARY 1, 2009 

Genealogy is one of the most popular hobbies in the United States, and is heavily researched in 

public libraries and historical repositories. Increasingly, major genealogy resources are available 

online at libraries through subscription databases or free on the internet. As a result, librarians face 

the overwhelming task of helping a large audience of genealogists cope with an ever growing flood 

of new resources. 

This book offers novice and experienced reference librarians an introduction to tried-and-true 

genealogy techniques and resources. With the help of four case studies, Simpson outlines a basic 

starting strategy for conducting genealogy research. Later chapters deal specifically with genealogical 

librarianship: how to conduct a reference interview, continuing and professional development, and 

basic resources every collection should have. Charts, screen shots, and examples of public 

documents are also included, while a series of appendices present the case studies in their entirety.

SCHOOL LIBRARY MEDIA MANAGEMENT 

New 

Essential Reference Services for 

Today’s School Media Specialists 


Scott Lanning and John Bryner 

At one time, it was believed that reference 

librarians answered questions correctly only 55 

percent of the time. With the expansion of 

resources, training, and responsibility, that is 

certainly no longer true. Today’s school media 

specialist is an active instructional partner, an 

advocate for information literacy and media center 

resources, and a reference librarian. 

Essential Reference Services for Today’s School 

Media Specialists: Second Edition is an overview of 

today’s reference environment covering the 

essentials of reference services, from selecting 

resources to weeding the collection, from the 

advantages of chat reference to the types of library 

instruction. This book is the place to start for 

information on reference services. It begins with a 

discussion of information and information literacy and also covers using and evaluating print and 

electronic reference sources, providing and evaluating reference services, creating web resources, 

teaching the core curriculum, and more. 

In this second edition, the authors focus on updating all of these areas. Core reference skills are 

updated with information on virtual reference services and library instruction. The resource section 

reflects new editions and changes in electronic resources and Web 2.0 tools, and the leadership 

section is expanded as well. 

FEATURES: 

•Offers a database search worksheet to use with students 

•Includes a list of print reference sources available for further reading 

HIGHLIGHTS: 

•Provides a concise overview of the current state of reference services 

•Discusses information power, the 21st-century learner and Big6 Skills and how they apply to reference

Program 

Helen R. Adams 

Award Winner: The Five-Foot Bookshelf 

2009, VOYA 

“This excellent, comprehensive, and up-todate 

treatment of intellectual freedom, with 

an introduction by library school professor 

and author Dianne McAfee Hopkins, is an 

indispensable work for school library media 

specialists in all kinds of schools, including 

international and private schools.” 

VOYA, APRIL 1, 2009 

Over two-thirds of all challenges to books and 

other resources reported to the ALA Office for 

Intellectual Freedom occur in schools. This book 

explores intellectual freedom issues in school library media programs including selection of 

resources and materials selection policies, challenges and censorship, students’ freedom to read, 

patron privacy and confidentiality of library records, the blocking of Internet resources, access to the 

school library media center, its resources, and services for students with special needs, and advocacy 

for minors’ First Amendment rights in school library media programs. Throughout the text, practicing 

public school and private school library media specialists at different grade levels candidly share 

their stories and observations on how intellectual freedom principles and ALA policy statements 

apply to real life situations. Attorney Mary Minow provides vital information about the impact of the 

First Amendment, federal and state law, and court decisions on minors using libraries in schools. 

Whether a library media specialist in the field or a student in a graduate or undergraduate library and 

information studies program, readers will find both practical information and advice to complement 

the concepts found in the American Library Association's Intellectual Freedom Manual. Print and 

web resources are included.

Professional Development for the Isolated 

School Librarian 

Mary Ann Harlan 

“It contains information all school librarians 

will find useful….This is a well researched 

and written resource with an impressive list 

of websites…Recommended.” 

LIBRARY MEDIA CONNECTION, OCTOBER 1, 2009 

“This little book offers big value for the new 

school librarian as he or she struggles in—as 

the subtitle accurately states—an isolating 

profession. . . . Harlan offers commonsense 

information about professional development 

opportunities using both old and new 

technologies…. She also offers advice on 

how to manage all of this. Related 

information, hints, and websites are set off 

within the text but do not break the flow of 

the narrative. An extensive glossary adds to 

the value. As with any book dealing with 

technology, one hopes for frequent revisions 

to keep the information current.” 

BOOKLIST, AUGUST 1, 2009 

Most school librarians are solo librarians working with little direct contact with their counterparts in 

schools or in other types of libraries. Sometimes this is geography and other times it is the lack of 

opportunities within their school districts or communities to become acquainted and communicate. 

It is very difficult to keep up with trends and issues, new methods or activities that should be tried in 

libraries. For those who did not learn the importance of professional development in their education 

programs, the author discusses the need for the solo librarian to remain current and to continue to 

find ways to continue advocacy for their school library programs. Building a personal learning 

network can help overcome the isolation. Opportunities for becoming active at the state and national 

level are described, as well as how to go beyond the library. Social bookmarking, social networks, 

and online conferences are discussed. Because many lack funds to attend conferences, readers will 

be pleased to learn that most of the activities can be done without leaving home.

Forthcoming 

Graphic Inquiry 

Annette Lamb and Danny Callison 

It’s new. It’s graphic. It is the first of its kind. This full 

color book provides a practical approach to 

incorporating graphic inquiry across the 

curriculum. It is designed to help school library 

media specialists, technology coordinators, and 

classroom teachers identify tools and techniques 

for using graphic inquiry with students. This 

visually rich book provides numerous, standardsbased 

inquiry activities and projects that 

incorporate traditional materials as well as 

emerging social and collaborative technologies. 

Designed to bridge theory and practice, Graphic 

Inquiry has applications for new and practicing 

educators and librarians. Although research is cited 

and references are provided, lengthy text passages 

are replaced by practical, visual examples rooted 

in best practice and presented in graphic format. 

We live in a high-tech, multimedia world, yet most of our classroom activities still emphasize print 

communication. Even inquiry-based approaches to learning often stress writing lists of questions, 

reading texts, and writing papers. We know that many of our young people are motivated by graphic 

communications. There’s a need to explore the potential of graphic inquiry in teaching and learning.

Librarians as Learning 

Specialists 

Meeting the Learning Imperative 

for the 21st Century 

Allison Zmuda and Violet H. Harada 

“Simply the best professional book of the 

year for teacher-librarians who must push 

into the center of the teaching and learning 

in their schools.” 

TEACHER LIBRARIAN, APRIL 1, 2009 

“Zmuda and Harada explore how the 

media specialist can work together with 

school administration and other educators 

to help students reach their full learning 

potential. They discuss how media 

specialists must work on a mission 

statement to fit both the needs of their job 

and the school. The book gives a nice 

breakdown of how to give effective 

instructions to students. The authors provide 

an excellent reference tool for the media specialist who is just getting started in the field 

or one who has newly acquired educational duties.” 

VOYA, JANUARY 1, 2009 

How can librarians and other Learning Specialists successfully leverage their roles to meet the 

learning imperatives of the 21st century? 

Zmuda and Harada explore the increasing number of job descriptions in schools for learning 

specialists with the accompanying difficulty in effectively leveraging these roles to positively affect 

student learning. School librarians have been one of these learning specialists for decades. The ranks 

have expanded in recent years to include many other content area specialists. Grant Wiggins’ 

foreword emphasizes the relevance of learning specialists is grounded in their ability to deliver 

results on mission-critical measures. 

This title incorporates quotations, exemplars, and findings from experts in both mainstream and 

librarian-focused education literature in an inclusive approach making the text accessible and 

credible for any leader charged with improving the system's ability for improved student 

achievement. 

ALLISON ZMUDA is a faculty member in the Understanding by Design cadre for the Association for 

Supervision and Curriculum Development, a staff consultant for Education connection in Litchfield, 

Connecticut and operates her own consulting firm, The Competent Classroom, LLC. 

VIOLET H. HARADA is a professor of library and information science in the Department of

STORYTELLING 

New 

Storytelling 

Art and Technique 


Ellin Greene and Janice M. Del Negro 

Storytelling is one of our oldest activities, a way to convey values and keep 

cultures alive. Stories are also an important educational tool. By age six, 

children who have been read to or told stories have a vocabulary of 20,000 

words compared to a vocabulary of 3,000 words for their less-lucky 

counterparts. Stories awake imagination, soothe the soul, and engender a 

life-long love of books and reading. 

ELLIN GREENE, EdD, is an internationally known storyteller, lecturer, workshop leader, and 

conference director. 

JANICE M. DEL NEGRO, PhD, is assistant professor at the Graduate School of Library and 

Information Science at Dominican University, River Forest, IL.

Special Storytelling Resources, Storytelling World 

Without a solid grounding in language, education is virtually impossible. But 

at times, the wide gap in language skills—even within a single classroom— 

can be difficult for teachers to bridge. That’s where innovative, 

well-conceived storytelling can be the great equalizer, reaching and 

involving students of all kinds while helping them develop their literacy skills. 

SHERRY NORFOLK, MLS, is a storyteller and teaching artist on the rosters of several state and 

regional arts councils, as well as Young Audiences, Woodruff Arts Center (Atlanta) and Springboard to 

Learning—Young Audiences of St. Louis. 

JANE STENSON is on the early childhood faculty at the Baker Demonstration School in Wilmette, IL,
