In the "good old days," a teacher-librarian's primary role was to manage books and resources. Oh how things have changed! The modern day teacher-librarian oversees a multitude of tasks. We have created this wiki to provide the inexperienced teacher- librarian with a "Top Ten" list of library management tasks, based on Chapter 5 of Blanche Wooll's (2008) book, //The School Library Media Manager,// as well as some additional resources to support the work of managing the school library media centre. Click on any of the suggestions below to access additional information on that topic:

=//Our TOP TEN includes://=
 * 1) //Form an advisory committee;//
 * 2) //Conduct a needs assessment;//
 * 3) //Create policy and procedures documents;//
 * 4) //Write a mission statement, goals and objectives;//
 * 5) //Develop a strategic plan for your school library media centre;//
 * 6) //Organize your program;//
 * 7) //Develop a plan for scheduling your media centre;//
 * 8) //Take on a leadership role by collaborating and planning with teachers;//
 * 9) //Evaluate the efficacy of your school library media program;//
