The candidate chosen to assume this responsibility is sometimes a school librarian, an administrator, a technology expert, or someone with a combination of experiences and skills. To fulfill the responsibilities of the job, the candidate will need support and assist... more »ance. This book was written to serve as a reference book and a road map for the district library administrator. The book provides a handbook of responsibilities and tips to help a school library director conquer the job. Each of us has a set of skills and gifts that we bring to the job. Few of us know the answers to all of the questions and possess all of the knowledge required. We can all use a little help from our friends at one time or another. Consider this volume your friendly "go to" helpful source when your job supplies you with an opportunity to stretch your skills. The job of district library administrator is a lonely and isolated one. This book is designed to fill the gap of knowledge and experience that faces each of us as we fill the position of managing a system of libraries. If you are considering a career as a library media director or have recently been selected to supervise multiple library media centers, then you will find the answers to many questions within the pages of this book. Whether you have been managing multiple libraries for many years, or you are new to the job, or you are planning for a career in library management, you will benefit from the information in this book. Chances are good that there are not many people in your geographic area who share your job experience. Few opportunities exist for networking and exchanging ideas. You will feel you have ended that isolation when you dive into this volume and get the answers, practical tips, and information you need from your colleagues across the country. Use this book as a reference guide as questions arise or read it cover to cover for a comprehensive overview of the position of library media director who manages multiple libraries. Either way, you will find hands-on examples of the help you need to solve problems, make plans, and effectively manage your library system. Use the table of contents and the index to search the topics about which you need more information. Use the appendices for samples of forms, policies, and other concrete examples you may need in your position. This volume covers the topics of staffing, policies, the collection, budgets and fundraising, facilities, programming, technology, professional development, and advocacy.
