For school librarians, technology is an essential component of their work. To meet the growing need in this area, Odin Jurkowski first wrote Technology and the School Library in 2006. To address the technological advancements, Jurkowski provides an overview of the types of technologies used in school libraries, from traditional low-tech options to the latest developments, describing how the school librarian interacts with and works with the technology. Updated throughout, this 4th edition addresses the continuously changing nature of technology, including Chromebooks, augmented reality, virtual reality, and generative AI. Major topics covered in this volume include information resources in the school library, the different varieties of educational software available, resources available via the web, and what to include on a school library website. This book also addresses tools that can be used in classrooms and technology administration: everything from automation and filters to student safety and security systems.

The world of the school librarian has changed significantly over the past ten years with the proliferation of technology into all phases of education; this book attempts to address these issues. What does a school librarian need to know about technology? Technology for the School Librarian: Theory and Practice is an introduction to all aspects of technology in the school library and provides a starting point for further study of this wide-ranging—and critically important—field.

Covering both classification and cataloging principles as well as procedures relevant to school libraries, this book provides a teaching kit for a course on this critical subject that includes content and practice exercises. A valuable resource for instructors in LIS programs who teach courses in cataloguing with an emphasis on school libraries, this textbook explains the nuts and bolts of classification and cataloging as well as the functionality of integrated library systems and how these systems critically serve the mission of the school. Author Cynthia Houston covers Web 2.0 and the social networking features of these systems as well as examining in detail the principles and procedures for subject classification using Sears subject headings or Dewey Decimal Classification using the Sears tool. This teaching tool kit addresses the cataloging of print materials, audiovisual materials, and electronic materials separately—but all within the specific context of the school library. It supplies a number of examples and exercises to reinforce the key concepts and skills as well as to demonstrate the real-world applications of learning concepts and procedures. Based directly on Houston's extensive experience in teaching classification and cataloging courses, the included content and practice exercises enable instructors to use this book for content, for instruction, and for providing student feedback.

1.1 Preamble Schools are the production centres endowed with the noble responsibility of producing learned, civilized and worthy citizens of a country Every school has its own plan of action with a set of well-designed curriculum objectives. The aim of the school is not just academic achievement of the students, rather the development of overall personality of them. And so, emphasis is being given on scholastic, co-scholastic and non-scholastic skills of the students. Libraries in the schools are the strong supporting centres which supplement and complement the accomplishment of the objectives set forth by their parental bodies. They are the knowledge facilitation points in every school. According to the U.S. Commission on Libraries and Information Science (2005), “Students in schools with good school libraries learn more, get better grades, and score higher on standardized test scores”(p.4). As Ranganthan(1962) quoted ‘ The result of modern re-thinking on education is to make the library the heart of the school, from which every activity in the school radiates and by which it all gets irradiated’. International Association of School Librarianship (IASL) Policy statement on school libraries remarks that the school library is essential to "the development of the human personality as well as the spiritual, moral, social, cultural and economic progress of the community"(p.1).
