Review:

"Overall, this work remains a useful title, and there are sufficient changes to justify purchase of this new version. It could also serve as supplemental material in school library media management or general collection development courses." - ARBA

"Though it is recommended for school librarians and school library paraprofessionals, those who work closely with school libraries will find this book useful in understanding the inner workings of a vibrant and relevant school library collection." - VOYA

"This title would be a good textbook for a school library student or a librarian who feels that he or she has nobody to turn to for help with decisions. . . . It is current and comprehensive, including selection criteria for almost 35 different formats of material and sample policies, forms, and surveys." - Library Media Connection

"Every person working in or learning or teaching about school libraries should read this comprehensive and straightforward textbook and keep it on the bookshelf to refer back to over and over again." - The Library Quarterly
