Reviews

Gleaned from the popular Tips column in Library Media Connection, the numerous ideas presented in this compilation cover management, teaching, working with students, teachers, and helpers, technology, reading promotion, and public relations, with many clever ways of handling and doing things that cost little or no money. Tips are carefully categorized into nine sections that are easy to access and also designed to make a librarian's job much easier. Each section begins with a brief explanation of the topic and its role in the librarian's work, and then presents a list of the sub-topics in that section. There are suggestions for collecting overdue books and fines, collaboration, special themes, incentives, bulletin board ideas, special events, author visits, managing computer usernames and passwords, and the list goes on. Whether a new or seasoned librarian, these helpful suggestions are full of practical, common sense, and logical advice for those of us who need new ideas or just need to be inspired occasionally. Full of many 'Ah-Ha' moments, this book, a fun read, connects librarians with other librarians in similar situations and is sure to spark even more creative and useful ideas. Table of Contents.
