some of the most important figures in school librarianship, demonstrates

together to create a 21st century school library media program. With
topics that emphasize student success, leadership, partnerships,
curriculum design, collaborative planning and teaching, literacy, 21st
century skills, emerging technologies, and so much more, this compendium
brings together the best of the best discussions. The practicing
teacher-librarian, as well as the student seeking to expand his or her
knowledge of the field, will find this compilation especially beneficial

teacher-librarians are moving forward to meet the challenges of this new
