Creating an annotated selection tool list...

Last week we started looking at various selection tools for building library collections. I didn't know there were such publications out there. I also didn't realize how specific and specialized some of them were. Some were very helpful and others were not of much use to me. I looked at one book that was limited to American history for senior high school students. While this was an excellent resource for the particular audience it served, it was very narrow in scope. I'm looking forward to finding out more about the online journals and other publications that also serve as selection tools. We are required to locate 10 and evaluate them before next class. This project will definitely be a useful resource to me when I begin to build my own collection and select my own materials.
