Donham is a well-known writer and scolar in the field of school and academic libraries and is the current editor of School Library Media Research. In This revision of her book that sets out the foundational principles of the school library media program, Donham integrates the new AASL Learning Standards published in 2007. Chapters are directed at the various constituents of the library media program and then turn to the program of the LMC including collaboration, information literacy, technology, literacy among other topics. This book is targeted as a textbook for those studying to become library media specialists or can be valuable as a one chapter read and discuss for a professional learning community of teacher librarians at the district level. There are a number of texts that can be used to introduce teacher librarians to the field. This one deserves a careful comparison by instructors and those at the district level who are updating their professional development to include solid ideas and issues in the filed. Highly recommended.
