[CALIBK12] General introduction to school libraries

[Marie Slim]

I love our CSLA Standards and Where Do I Start? from the Santa Clara County Office of Education and Linworth Publishing (2001).  Where Do I Start? is a little dated, but has a little bit of everything:  Marketing, Collection Devel., Booktalking, Info. Literacy, "Internet", Library Procedures, Automation, Cataloging and even a glossary.

I have been asked for a book recommendation by someone who wants a good, general introduction to all the pieces of our job. Is there one book that includes all of the essential pieces (circulation, reference, cataloging, etc.)?
 
In looking through my own library, I have many good books, but they tend to be only on reference, only on cataloging, etc.
