Abstract

Not all academic librarians who oversee children’s collections for pre-service teachers have backgrounds in K-12 education. To develop a robust collection, the St. Cloud State University library reached out to an assistant professor in the Department of Teacher Development to help weed their children’s literature collection and recommend new titles because of their dual expertise with both libraries and schools. This commentary paper will outline the development of a children’s collection for pre-service teachers from the perspective of a faculty member with school library media expertise using an acronym they have deemed as PLACID: Pleasure, Levels, Awards, Curriculum, Illustrations, Diversity.

摘要

并非所有为职前教师监督儿童馆藏的学术图书馆员都具有 K-12 教育背景。为了开发强大的馆藏，圣克劳德州立大学图书馆联系了教师发展系的一名助理教授，以帮助他们清理孩子们的文学收藏并推荐新书目，因为他们在图书馆和学校都有双重专业知识。这篇评论文章将从具有学校图书馆媒体专业知识的教职员工的角度，使用他们认为是 PLACID 的首字母缩略词来概述面向职前教师的儿童收藏的发展：快乐、水平、奖项、课程、插图、多样性。
