If you want to find information pertaining to children's librarianship, here is the place to begin...This is an amazingly complete resource for researchers. The compilers have done all initial work by looking for each resource in databases and catalogs, then by looking at each title to determine if it applies to and is beneficial for the topic of library service to children. Every academic library should have at least one copy of this bibliography, and every professor of librarianship or children's literature should have a desk copy. Booklist It will be of interest and use to professionals seeking information in a variety of formats ranging from journals to dissertations and from books to brochures. School Library Journal 20051001 In this update of the 1992 American Library Association edition by Van Orden (emeritus, U. of Washington), she and Pawelak-Kort, a library media specialist at a Seattle high school, present an annotated bibliography to facilitate the location of English-language works about public library services to children and children's librarianship. The 428 entries on works from 1876-2003 specify the research method used. A unique feature is the inclusion of policy statements, reports, and research studies not readily identified in any one source. Appendices include methodological and source funding notes.
