 Practical help!, 2007-07-30
RASLMC is a great practical helper for the school librarian/media specialist. It contains websites, forms and practical ideas. It is a bit dated though, 2002.

 Recommended Manual, 2007-05-15
I purchased this book for a Library Science class that I am currently taking. This manual is very useful and informative for any veteran or new comer to the library media center. It covers all aspects of the library media center from forms used to helpful vendor listings. I highly recommend this manual for anyone working in a library media center.

Brown (Library Media Specialist, Lake Highlands High School, Dallas, Texas), is a highly practical, "user friendly", how-to guide for librarians charged with developing, maintaining, and operating a private, parochial, or public school library media center.
