Amongst other key topics the Guidelines cover: • Providing quality resources • Information literacy • Reader development • Pro-active marketing • Evaluation • Partnerships and the wider community. Developed with an international audience in mind, these guidelines provide a comprehensive and flexible model for a modern school library service.
