[kids-lib] New Books Available from State Library: School Library Research, Common Core, Close Reading, Primary Sources, & Centers

Thu Aug 14 16:11:31 PDT 2014

Please pardon the cross-posting. The following new titles are available for interlibrary loan (ILL) from the Oregon State Library. For those advocating on behalf of strong school libraries, I thought you might be interested in School Libraries Matter: Views from the Research. It’s the third entry below. Also, the book about centers in the library might be useful. It’s the last entry.

Lehman, Katherine (ed.) Interacting with History: Teaching with Primary Sources. Chicago: ALA, 2014. ISBN: 978-0-8389-1205-8
With nearly 142 million items and one of the largest bodies of high-quality, digitized content available, the Library of Congress (LOC) is an enormously useful resource for librarians and teachers. Yet it remains a mystery to many. Exploring the wealth of materials freely available for free from LOC, Lehman and a stellar roundup of contributors offer an up-to-date survey of teacher resources to help teachers and librarian educators shake the dust off state-mandated history and literature curricula. Beginning with an introduction by Barbara Stripling, 2013-14 ALA President, this book…
