[Libs-Or] Library Partnerships: New Book at OSL

[Jennifer Maurer]

Yes, money may be meager and time is  tight, but remember that you have allies trying to achieve many of the same  goals you are.  Who?  School library media specialists or school library assistants.  We added a new book to the  Library and Information Science collection at the State Library which is all  about building partnerships between school and public libraries.  Tasha Squires, the author and a YA librarian,  has extensive experience collaborating with school library media specialists,  and in Library Partnerships, she offers much practical advice to help others seeking to do  the same.  She covers the obvious, like checking  the other person’s schedule before offering to launch a collaborative project, and  the not so obvious, like thinking to ask if your partner prefers a steady  routine or likes variety when returning to a familiar project.  Examples of collaboration range from coordinating  author visits between school and public libraries to having school educators share  classroom management skills at the request of YA librarians who were overrun  with kids visiting their public library after school.  As an aside, upcoming OLA and OASL  publications will focus on school and public library collaboration.

Squires, Tasha. Library Partnerships:  Making Connections between School and Public Libraries. Medford, NJ:  Information Today, 2009. Print. ISBN 978-1-57387-362-8

  To read a few reviews of Library  Partnerships, click on the Gale search that I saved below.  Anytime you see the bookmark/infomark icons --  a yellow star or a lower case “i" in a circle -- you can click on them to access  a PURL, or permanent URL.  PURLs can be emailed or posted so others have access to the article or search results you want to highlight.  Often you are not even prompted to log in  when accessing Gale info via a PURL.  If  you do have to log in, use the same user name and password that you use for  remote access to Gale.
