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.

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.
