Editorial Reviews

Nearly 800 short, practical suggestions written by library media specialists from across the country. Mainly gleaned from the "Tips" column of Book Report magazine over the past decade, the ideas are arranged by topic into nine sections: "-And They Will Come"; "Computers-Easing the Curriculum"; "Curriculum Involvement"; "Managing the Library"; "Library Skills"; "Odds and Ends"; "Public Relations"; "Read, Read, Read"; and "Volunteers-Students and Community." The collection provides a wealth of innovative recommendations that are easy to understand and implement. The format encourages browsing and jumping around and the tips themselves are bound to generate more ideas to fit readers' individual situations. A useful resource.-Sandra L.
