Toward a 21st-Century School Library Media Program Esther Rosenfeld and David V. Loertscher, editors 2007 9780810860315 Toward a 21st-Century School Library Media Program is a collection of articles previously published in Teacher Librarian and VOYA. Edited by David Loertscher and OLA's very own Esther Rosenfeld, these articles are by some of the leading fi gures in school librarianship. Th e articles are organized into seven sections: Collaboration; Curriculum Design and Assessment; Technology Integration; 21st-Century Skills; Literacy and Reading; Partnerships; and Issues and Management. Th e fi rst part of each title is "Learning Leadership," which can be read two ways. Teacher-librarians provide leadership in learning, but these articles will also help teacher-librarians learn leadership. Teacher-librarians to whom these articles are new will fi nd this collection very useful indeed, but even teacher- librarians who have easy access to both journals will fi nd this collection convenient.
