School Library Journal Review

Designed as a "tool kit," this volume presents a variety of articles highlighting various aspects and activities of Information Powered Schools and giving tips for putting the principles and practices to work. It draws on experiences of those communities that have participated in the DeWitt Wallace-Reader's Digest initiative to develop a vision for improving teaching and learning through the library program, mobilize community support for it, and make a commitment to providing full-time librarians. Checklists, surveys, and planning forms are included to determine the status of current practices. The collaborative planning worksheets, request forms, unit evaluation and collaborative-unit evaluation forms will be of special interest to librarians already involved in this process. Answers to questions about curriculum and collection mapping and development are supported with worksheets for data collection. Developing resources for the information-powered school focus on strategies for self-evaluation, the use of state and regional guidelines, packaging a proposal for funding, budgeting, and community involvement. Print and Web resources are included. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
