Collection Development and Review Sources




This Teaching & Learning professional learning opportunity will provide content, material, and strategies to assist educators in meeting the needs of students in their district.

Important Session Information:


Collection development is an ongoing process of improvement - a time consuming, tedious task that requires constant attention. With all of the demands on your time as a school librarian how do you keep up with the plethora of new titles published every year? Because the Selection Materials Policy in all school districts has strict guidelines and budgets are limited, how do you decide which book is best for purchase? How do you share these new books once they have been added to your collection? Attend this session to learn about professional selection tools, spend time reading reviews from multiple sources, and discover the “formula” for writing a review. At the conclusion of the session, attendees will have tools to confidently select books for purchase. Added bonus: attendees will understand how to write reviews, a necessary skill for Bluebonnet, 2x2, Lone Star, Caldecott, Newbery, and all other book selection committee work. Transfer this knowledge into library instruction and empower your readers to write reviews, too.
