7TH EDITION | BLANCHE WOOLLS, JOYCE KASMAN VALENZA, AND APRIL M. DAWKINS
In an era of budget cuts, reduced staffing, and a global pandemic, it’s more important than ever for new LIS professionals and established school librarians and administrators to demonstrate the value of school libraries to decision makers.
This revised and updated edition of a classic text adds two well-known authors to help lead readers through the many essential management tasks and skills required to administer the successful school library program. It emphasizes the importance of the school librarian in providing digital access to information for teachers and students, describes how facilities are being modified to accommodate new resources and programming, and offers new ways to use AASL standards to evaluate programs.
All chapters are updated, and the text addresses such timely subjects as providing information resources when students, teachers, and librarians are interacting online.

This invaluable textbook teaches practical skills for school library management and offers inspiration and guidance for growing LIS careers.

The Fight against Book Bans
Perspectives from the Field SHANNON
M. OLTMANN,
EDITOR
SHANNON M. OLTMANN is associate professor in the School of Information Science at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, KY.
Book bans and challenges frequently make the news, but when the reporting ends, how do we put them in context? The Fight against Book Bans captures the views of dozens of librarians and library science professors regarding the recent flood of book challenges across the United States, gathered in a comprehensive analysis of their impact and significance. It also serves as a guide to responding to challenges.
Chapter authors provide first-hand accounts of facing book challenges and describe how they have prepared for challenges, overcome opposition to certain books, and shown the value of specific library materials. Library science faculty with a range of specialties provide relevant background information to bolster these on-the-ground views. Together, the chapters both articulate the importance of intellectual freedom and demonstrate how to convey that significance to others in the community with passion and wisdom. This volume provides a timely and thorough overview of the complex issues surrounding the ongoing spate of book challenges faced by public and school libraries.
FEATURES
• Reinforces the significance of intellectual freedom to public and school libraries
• Describes how different librarians have responded to challenges and explained the importance of intellectual freedom to their communities
• Acts as a step-by-step guide to responding to challenges

COMING SOON Making Virtual Reality a Reality
Designing Educational Initiatives in Libraries with Emerging Technologies
ALISON VALK, XIMIN MI, AND ASHLEY L. SCHICK
As educational curricula and research evolve to include advanced technologies, libraries must offer programming with these emerging technologies in mind, including the use of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Valk, Mi, and Schick present readers with tools for assessing their level of organizational readiness to begin such programs and, more importantly, how to sustain them with limited budgets, expertise, and resources.
Building on their own experiences, the authors teach readers how to develop technology-rich classes, assess student projects, and overcome technical hurdles. They spotlight this kind of programming as integral to building strategic partnerships in an educational environment. Readers will learn how to adapt and design programs or initiatives in which the necessary technologies are rapidly changing, not only in higher education institutions, but also in K–12 schools. Worksheets and resources assist readers in reflecting on their own work and developing educational programming to suit their organizational needs.
FEATURES
• Teaches readers to develop courses and programs including immersive technologies
• Identifies free and low-cost resources
• Helps instructors evaluate devices
• Helps develop library-led research
