The Fifth Grade Student As An Active Participant In The Selection Of School Library Books, Catherine Spada Mcleod

All Master's Theses

The purpose of this study was to determine if fifth grade students could be consistent and productive participants in the process of selecting books for a school library. Forty-six students completed a Reading Interest Inventory and participated in a book selection activity.

Chi-square test results did not support the hypothesis that there would be no significant difference between the results of these two selection activities. Student perceptions of their involvement in this process were also included.

A Study On Book Selection: Factors And Practices Influencing Selection, Sources For Purchasing, And Reviewing Media Used By Selected Iowa Public School Librarians, Dale F. Birch

Graduate Research Papers

While the library literature had some studies devoted to book selection in academic and public libraries, there were very few studies which had been devoted to book selection in public school libraries. Firstly, very little research seemed available on factors which influence selection. For example, was the publisher's reputation a more critical factor in selection than was the author's reputation? Was a favorable book review a more critical factor in selection than was a faculty recommendation? Was there one selection factor which seemed more important than any other one in influencing selection decisions?

A Survey Of Book Selection Practices And Conditions In Some Iowa High Schools, James Justin Acton

Graduate Research Papers

School librarians have traditionally selected only those books for purchase that were "needed. 11 The curriculum supposedly dictated what books were purchased. In recent years, the changing roles of libraries have suggested a wider range of materials is necessary. Also a new awareness of the importance of materials selection in "defining what and how children are expected to learn" exists.

Book Selection For A Teachers College Library, Robert E. Mcconnell

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

The selection of books and the distribution of library funds are considerations which call for the continuous attention of the college administrator. This is especially so in the case of teachers colleges because they are of recent development and are limited as to funds. Both time and money are essential to the building up of a library of quality and quantity. As compared with the well established liberal arts college, teachers colleges are at a disadvantage in that the former existed fifty years before the latter.
