Research indicates that collaboration is one of three key priorities school library media specialists should have if they want to make a difference at their schools. By working with the administrators and educators, school library media specialists can effectively integrate information literacy skills throughout the curriculum, and help to ensure that today's children and young adults will be capable and effective users of information as adults. This title fills a void in the professional literature by incorporating the information about the theory of collaboration available in the business and educational psychology literatures, and translating the pertinent material into ideas and methods useful to school library media specialists.

Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Doll provides an excellent resource for anyone needing a how-to guide for initiating the collaborative process. As well as outlining reasons to plan jointly and giving examples of research models, she brings a higher level of understanding to the process by defining collaboration successes and obstacles in other professions. She pulls together ideas published by many leaders in the field that emphasize the librarian's role with the classroom teacher to guide students developing information-literacy skills, such as the ability to formulate questions, access multiple resources, evaluate findings, and use information effectively. Proactive media specialists making the transition from collection management to coordinating student-centered activities will find inspiration and strategies for success in this well-researched and well-documented resource.–Kathy Lehman, Thomas Dale High School Library, Chester, VA

...an excellent overview of collaboration between teachers and school library media specialists....The writing is clear and precise....should be in all circulating collections in academic libraries supporting school library, teacher, or school administration preparation programs. (American Reference Books Annual )
Great book for librarians interested in this topic and wanting to get collaboration started in their schools. Summary sections at end of main chapter points are particularly helpful. (Betsy Ruffin )
Collaboration is of high interest to school library media specialists who seek to integrate information literacy skills throughout the curriculum and must work with administrators and educators to do so. Doll (information science and policy, U. of Albany, SUNY) translates existing theory about collaborative efforts into practical ideas and methods. (Reference & Research Book News )

This was one of the books I had to purchase for grad school, and one of the few I didn't give away or resell. Carol Doll is an inspiration.
