SUPPLEMENT III, Part I: John Ashbery to Walker Percy SUPPLEMENT III, Part 2: Philip Roth to Louis Zukofsky The twentynine essays in this third supplement maintain the original goals of the series, each providing—for students in secondary and advanced education, librarians, scholars, critics, and teachers — a comprehensive treatment of the work and life of each author.
Similar to the previous 99 Jumpstarts to Research but designed for younger students, this book helps teachers and librarians to teach basic research and information literacy skills to children. To help them master the research process and narrow the limitless array of sources available on commonly researched topics in elementary and middle schools, students are taught a basic note-taking process and given specific source ideas and subject headings for each topic discussed. Grades 3-8.
Including the newly revised and adopted Public Library Service Responses, along with case studies, workforms, and tool kits, Strategic Planning for Results offers librarians a wealth of ideas to effectively meet changing community needs.
