Now director of the library at Cornell College, Mount Vernon, Iowa, Donham formerly taught library and information science at the U. of Iowa. She presents a text to help K-12 school library media professionals effect change in their program by integrating it into the school's overall instructional plan. Reflecting professional, theoretical, legal, and political changes over the last six years, the second edition includes new coverage on the new role of standards; the impact of No Child Left Behind legislation; the growing influence of the media, including the Web; the new educational needs of millennials; changing reading habits; the new model of shared school-public libraries; the unique leadership opportunities of the school library media specialist; and updated statistics and data throughout the text.
