South Carolina School Libraries Wiki - Resources and Links to Facilitate Creating and Maintain Quality School Library Media Programs

This wiki was created by Martha Alewine, a school library media services consultant for the South Carolina Department of Education,  and contains a number of useful links for school librarians both in and outside of the state of South Carolina.  Some of these links are actual Word documents created by the South Carolina Department of Education.  One document that appears very similar to the SL 21 document recently unveiled in Michigan is titled "Achieving Exemplary School Libraries."  Like Michigan's SL 21 document, this evaluation tool rates how well school libraries achieve a number of different objectives such as how well school libraries foster collaboration, what type of scheduling for libraries is used (flexible vs. fixed), whether the library supports reading incentives within the school, etc.  It would be interesting to see how and where the Michigan document differs or is similar to South Carolina's document.
