Reviews

This is the third edition of tips collected from the Tips from Your Colleagues section of LIBRARY MEDIA CONNECTION. The assembled tips were submitted by middle and high school library media specialists since 2000. The tips are practical in nature and focus on issues faced daily by library media specialists. Tips are separated into sections by topics including library management, reading promotion, instruction, collaboration, technology, and public relations. Each of the eight sections is further divided into subtopics. Tips and Other Bright Ideas is like a cookbook for secondary school library media specialists. If it were organized as a cookbook with the flip side of the sectional divider pages having a list of the tips included in that section or if an index were included, tips addressing a specific concern would be easier to locate. The book is also good for professional browsing. While reviewing, I marked several tips I want to try. If you find the Tips from Your Colleagues section of LIBRARY MEDIA CONNECTION or the previous books helpful, you will definitely want to purchase this book. Recommended. * Library Media Connection *
