\ School Library JournalThis book is designed especially for those library media specialists who follow a traditional program of teaching library skills on a regularly scheduled basis. A master rubric organizes 10 basic skills into introductory, reinforcement, and mastery lessons. This recognizes the fact that the same skill taught at an introductory level in one grade becomes a mastery activity at another. The 150 lessons include library manners, choosing and checking out books, using the Dewey decimal system, researching and writing reports, and using the Internet properly. Each one has an objective, materials procedure plan, desired outcome, and a reteaching component. While some do involve verbal, auditory, and kinesthetic learning, especially for younger children, most are pencil-and-paper activities. Even so, the underlying philosophy of the whole program is to keep children reading. This is a nuts-and-bolts approach to library teaching. An accompanying CD has the activity sheets, task cards, bookmarks, and other materials ready for busy librarians to print out and use. Beginning library media specialists will find the manual easy to use and easily adaptable to their students' needs. Those with more experience may just find new inspiration to perk up their presentations.-Pamela K. Bomboy, Chesterfield County Public Schools, VA Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.\ \
