For libraries serving readers in
grades five through nine, Middle and Junior High Core Collection, provides indispensable help with collection
development and maintenance, curriculum support, readers' advisory, and general reference.
You will find
thousands of entries for nonfiction works, fiction and collections for
children and adolescents, plus review sources and other professional aids
for librarians and school media specialists. Entries provide complete
bibliographic data, price, subject headings, a descriptive annotation, and
evaluative quotations from a review when available. The Catalog also
includes entries for recommended electronic resources.
Selected and recommended
by specialists in library service to young people, listed books
encompass a wide variety of topics for youth. Among nonfiction entries,
special importance is given to works devoted to technology, personal
values, and current social and political issues, with special emphasis on
ethnic diversity. Fiction entries encompass a broad spectrum of literary
works that are of interest to young readers and many that are frequently
part of the school curriculum—classics as well as contemporary fiction and
genre literature. Among works for the librarian and media specialist are
bibliographies, journals, and other resources for the
selection and evaluation of print and non-print materials and the use of
the Internet in instruction.
New features in Middle and Junior High Core Collection include coverage of electronic resources focused on reference works and interactive educational materials
that support the curriculum; and lists of the most highly recommended professional journals for teachers and librarians and
magazines for young readers.
