Messner, Patricia A., and Brenda S. Copeland. School Library Management: Just the Basics. Santa Barbara, CA: Libraries Unlimited, 2011. ISBN: 978-1-59884-834-2
Publisher's Description
...Written in clear, simple
language, this book provides information that will help an aide or
paraprofessional manage a school library. Setting up and managing
a library media center is a complex task best handled by a certified
and experienced librarian, but the fact of the matter is that many
school districts have had to cut librarian positions and are attempting
to fill the gaps with aides...[This book]
describes the step-by-step process of setting up the management
processes in a school library and outlines easy management concepts that
will guide aides through challenges like setting up activity centers
and establishing rules for behavior. With over three decades of
experience in librarianship between them, the authors cover topics such
as student incentives and rewards; scheduling and supervising computer
usage; circulation procedures; training materials for volunteers;
passes, book marks, and other patterns; and privacy issues. This book
can also serve as an effective training guide for district librarians
responsible for training aides who are running multiple centers.
