Use it for practical advice on such basics as collection development, selection, taking inventory, classifying, cataloging, budgeting, and more. Build points with constituents―parents, teachers, and administrators―with public relations pointers. Get started on advancing your career by learning how to build a network of colleagues and develop yourself professionally.
