| Synopsis: |
In this critical analysis of library services to young people in Britain, the authors assess the degree to which the needs of the child are being met by libraries in the face of societal changes and economic pressures. Offering a broad conceptual framework and philosophical approach to the subject, this book should be of value to students and practitioners alike. Contributions are included from Keith Barker, Gayner Eyre and Margaret Kinnell. With full reference to the current political and social environment, the authors analyze theories behind selection and promotion policies and make suggestions for initiatives to promote literacy. Supported by examples of good practice and problem-solving, the book covers issues such as: the effect of demographic and legislative change on children and their library services; the changing nature of the user group; trends in publishing and the supply of materials for young people; collection management; and pinpointing new directions in library services to the young. |
