Welcome to the Libraries Unlimited
fall 2016 catalog for school
librarians.
In this catalog you will find products that can help you to rise to the top of
your practice, and as a librarian, you help students to learn, so why not learn
how to better help them? Professional development may be one of the most
overlooked components of success in any field; in librarianship, acquiring new
skills and keeping up with your student patrons’ interests allows you to know
how to improve their education at every point in your career.
Founded by a distinguished professor and scholar in 1964, Libraries Unlimited
provides librarians quality resources that further professional development
and support teaching. Under the ABC-CLIO, LLC umbrella since 2008,
Libraries Unlimited publishes more than 2,000 library science textbooks,
reference works, practical handbooks, and professional guides in both print
and electronic formats.
School Library Connection & reVIEWS+, a dual-format professional
development resource for librarians, can help you to connect your student
patrons with the information they’re looking for. Online access to video
workshops, networking opportunities, and 5,000+ reviews by librarians,
for librarians, complements six annual print issues of the School Library
Connection magazine, each of which is aligned to a theme and tackles timely
issues in three topic centers: Organization & Management, Instructional
Leadership, and Library in Context.
Of course, whether you are striving to inspire inquiry-based learning or
supporting student research; looking to develop and manage your children’s
and young adult collection or endeavoring to support the Common Core;
wanting to implement a storytelling program or thinking of creating a
writing center; or hoping to update your library with apps for today’s tech-
savvy student patrons or embarking on a redesign of your library’s website,
Libraries Unlimited brings you the books that can help you to achieve
professional success.
