Collection+Development

Here you can post your procedures/plan for collection development.... Dear fellow library media specialists,

You may be aware of the publication, "Christian Library Journal". In the fall of 2007, publication had ceased. The editor and publisher, Nancy Hesch, asked that I let you all know that publication has resumed and that she is looking for reviewers of non-fiction. Her e-mail messages are pasted below. Nancy is also working on core collection for the Christian reader. She adds that "t he core collection is intended for the Christian school or church library, the homeschooling family, or any Christian reader. It will cover all subject areas, listing recommended books only. Donna Bowling and I are working together to build the list, she doing fiction, and I nonfiction. I will be posting the nonfiction sections on the CLJ website as they are finished. We hope to update the list annually with a supplement, and every five years a combined and updated edition.   Thank you for your support of the journal over the years". Thank you, Shelley Watson



Dear Readers of CLJ,

A couple of months ago we decided to resume publication of the Christian Library Journal. You will find it online at [|http://www.christia nlibraryj. org.] It is in both web and pdf versions, so use either.

We are not charging for the journal, so please spread the word. Our desire is that many will benefit from our work.

We are looking for reviewers in nonfiction subject areas by educational level (elem., ms, hs). Our reviewers review in exchange for free new books. They can read about it on our website, [|http://www.christia nlibraryj. org/,] going to Reviewers to read about what we do and then file an application there.



We are happy to announce that the June issue of CLJ is posted online. Take a look!

Also, at this point, we have received no book orders through Amazon, a plan set up to support CLJ. So in the near future we will ask readers to register with CLJ and subscribe. Watch for that, and a special opening rate in the next week or so.

Thanks for your interest in CLJ.

Nancy
