**Spring 2010 (Hybrid)**
 * RLS 511 School Library Collection Development**

**Final Presentation (25 points)** **Due: Saturday, June 12, 2010 in class**

You are the library media specialist in a school library. Your local school council has awarded you a grant of $600 to purchase materials that will support a new curriculum unit. Your packet includes information on your school community and your collection. Enjoy spending the money and documenting your purchases. Create a list of your purchases to share with your classmates. If you use a service such as Titlewave, you can print out the list of materials. If you create the list or any portion of the list, use correct APA style. Remember that “resources” encompasses more than print materials.

You will create a “thank you” presentation to your school council. In addition to expressing your “thanks,” this is an opportunity to share information about your school community, state of your collection, selection process (the application of your collection policy) and other needs of your library.

This presentation will be given to your classmates on the last day of class. Oral presentations should not exceed 10 minutes including time for questions and answers. It is likely that your presentation will be much more detailed than the presentation time allows. Make sure you emphasize the highlights of your program in the time you are allotted while turning in a hard copy and a digital copy. Hard copies of PowerPoint slides may be printed 2 slides per page. Digital versions should be mailed to linda.diekman@nl.edu with a copy to lmeidkman@sbcglobal.net. Digital copies should be emailed prior to the class meeting.
