One would think that the selection of books would be effortless, especially with the number of online bookstores offering used book discounts or free shipping for large orders. Deepening budget cuts and limited or untrained staff means collection development is demanding more of teacher-librarians' time. Due to tightened budgets, the difficult reality in selection for many teacher-librarians is the lack of access to print selection tools. Teacher-librarians who cannot afford the "luxury" of subscriptions to current professional journals or retrospective catalogs are instead utilizing reviews from various online sources in making material selection decisions. While print selection tools remain the best resource, there are a variety of free online resources, better than bookstore reviews, that teacher-librarians can utilize to select appropriate materials for their library. A list of those free resources are included in this article. |
