3.0 out of 5 stars Just what we needed, another set of standards set up by a "vision" committee, June 10, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Empowering Learners: Guidelines for School Library Media Programs (Paperback)
Am I way off base here or did School Library Media Centres really need another set of guidelines? This thin volume outlines a more current set of standards/guidelines without saying very much new. I am beginning to think that saying something/anything is the new coin of the realm (I am part of this answer/problem with this review).

As I write this, I have read 1/2 of the item and so far is seems like wishful thinking. Working with teachers, an administration and students is a struggle. Coming up with standards is only a goal and I don't think that it has much to do with the day to day reality. Perhaps, I am happier with the previous set of goals/standards set forth in "Information power: bulding partnerships for learning"

To add injury to insult is the price of this item. In considering the "usable" text, the price comes down to almost $1.00/page. This is something which should have been posted on the Internet, especially if AASL wanted to make it available to all stake holders.

5.0 out of 5 stars The National Exam is Based on This Book, November 7, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Empowering Learners: Guidelines for School Library Media Programs (Paperback)
The updated version (Sept. 2009) of the Library Media Specialist Praxis exam by ETS is now based on this book (instead of Information Power). Good to know, and good luck!

3.0 out of 5 stars Empowering Learners textbook review, February 23, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Empowering Learners: Guidelines for School Library Media Programs (Paperback)
I was instructed to purchase this book for classes. I have yet to use this book in class and from skimming feel like it is a typical textbook.
