School Libraries Uncovered: Aligning with Guidelines and Enhancing Non-Fiction Collections

In our last podcast, Darryl and I talked about Douglas Knight’s two major and unique functions of a library and ended up having a great discussion about the purpose and function of our non-fiction collections.

In this episode, we chat about:-

  • The similarities with the SLA guidelines, including their bookstock guidance. Stott (1947, 1955), School Libraries: A Short Manual (CUP for SLA) and SLA (1972) | Libraries in Secondary Schools

  • Understand the role of the school librarian via the IFLA School Library Guidelines

  • Staffing in school libraries

  • Collection development and in particular non-fiction.
