Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Experienced grant researchers and university librarians Hall-Ellis and Jerabek provide a systematic approach to every aspect of the grant process. Each section breaks down important concepts and is clearly supported by reproducible forms, examples, and lists. Two important segments address budget and personnel considerations. The project-evaluation section includes data-collection instruments and time lines, while a final chapter discusses practical suggestions such as publicity and writing letters of appreciation. Grant writers will find the comparison of successful and poor grantsmanship and a list of 50 tips to be especially useful tools. The substantial annotated bibliography covers both print and nonprint resources; a list of federal grant programs rounds out the abundant practical information. This surprisingly readable guide should be on every school library media specialist's professional shelf.–Susan McCaffrey, Haslett High School, MI

From Booklist
Librarians chasing grant dollars are always looking for help. Here, the authors of Grantsmanship for Small Libraries and School Library Media Centers (Libraries Unlimited, 1999) offer a guide that helps both new and experienced grant writers step assuredly through the somewhat bewildering process of crafting a successful grant. Each chapter focuses on a specific task or segment in grant proposals--planning, design, narrative, personnel, evaluation, budget, and appendixes. After the planning chapter (which includes charts and time lines), chapters may be read consecutively or simply consulted as needed. A very short, annotated bibliography includes some potential funding sources. Even if readers were to find only one usable tip leading to a fundable grant, it would be well worth the investment; this volume, however, merits repeated use and a place on your desk. RBB
