商品簡介
This book/CD-ROM walks school library media specialists through the process of generating a policy manual, drawing on best practices from 45 school library media centers around the country. The guide begins with an overview of policy development and mission statements, then looks at administrative aspects, and provides sample forms and policies for budgets, inventory, and annual reports. Other chapters cover policies for teachers, staff, and students, collection policies, and policies for acceptable use of technology and materials. Both traditional topics, such as collection development, and emerging issues, such as blogging, are discussed. The CD-ROM contains 80 sample policies, procedures, templates, and forms that can be adapted for local and district needs. Downs teaches in the Instructional Technology Program at Georgia Southern University. Annotation c2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
