Shop Talk Ideas: For Elementary School Librarians & Technology Specialists / Edition 2

by Sharron L. McElmeel

Overview

Share your colleagues' experience and over 400 ideas organized in eight categories - a "professional workshop in a book." Improve skills and manage your library media/technology center more efficiently. This new compilation of hints and ideas is drawn from the Shop Talk column in LIBRARY TALK: The Magazine for Elementary School Library Media and Technology Specialists. Organized so that you can easily find several ideas to use, adapt, or think up a "twist" for just the area you're concerned with, just when you need it. Categories include: bulletin boards, curriculum connections, promoting reading, teaching library skills, managing the library, public relations, using technology in the classroom, and "technology talk" (a section focusing on the "management" of technology more than its use of instruction).

Editorial Reviews

This book, comprised of more than 400 tips taken largely from the "Shop Talk" column of Library Talk magazine, places a plethora of information right at the school librarian's fingertips. Picking up where the first volume left off, this edition compiles ideas from 1994 to the present and organizes them into eight sections: bulletin boards and displays, curriculum connections, reading, library skills, managing the library, public relations, technology in the classroom, and handy tech hints. The suggestions come from practicing school librarians and have all been tested in the real world. They range from basics for beginners to shortcuts and time-savers. Due to its excellent organization and ease of access, this title is a worthwhile purchase, even for those who subscribe to Library Talk.-Yapha Nussbaum Mason, Brentwood Lower School, Los Angeles Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.|
