THERE’S A POLICY FOR THAT!1. Objectives of Library Services – The primary objective of a school or district library is to support, supplement and enrich the educational program. It is the
responsibility of each library to provide a wide range of materials on all levels of difficulty, with diversity in learning approach, and the presentation of varying points of view.
2. Library Bill of Rights – The Board of Education for the School District of Omaha endorses the tenets set forth in the American Library Association “Library Bill of
Rights” and addresses them to the responsibilities of school library as follows: a) To provide a comprehensive collection of instructional materials selected in compliance with basic written selection principles, and to provide maximum
accessibility to these materials.b) To provide materials that will support the curriculum, taking into consideration the individual’s needs, and the varied interests, abilities, socioeconomic
backgrounds, and maturity levels of the students served.c) To provide materials for teachers and students that will encourage growth in knowledge, and that will develop literary, cultural, and aesthetic appreciation, and
ethical standards.d) To provide materials which reflect the ideas and beliefs of religious, social, political, historical, and ethnic groups and their contribution to the American and world
heritage and culture, thereby enabling students to develop an intellectual integrity in forming judgments.e) To provide a written statement, approved by the local Board of Education, of the procedures for the challenge of censorship of materials in school library media
centers.f) To provide qualified professional personnel to serve teachers and students. 3. Responsibility for Selection of Library Materials – The Omaha Board of Education is legally responsible for all matters relating to the operation of the public
schools. Responsibility for formulating and implementing practices governing the selection of library materials is delegated to the professional staff. The selection of materials is assisted by committees involving principals, teachers, supervisors, school librarians, parents, and students. The responsibility for coordinating the selection of library materials and making recommendations for purchase rests with the Supervisor of Library Services.
4. School Library – Needs of the individual school, based on knowledge of the curriculum, the student population, and the existing collection, are given first
consideration in selecting materials. Materials for purchase are evaluated on the following criteria:a) Educational value and significance to the curriculum and needs of students.b) Need and value for a balanced, comprehensive collection.c) Reputation and significance of author or producer.d) Clarity, adequacy, and scope of text or audiovisual presentation.e) Validity, accuracy, objectivity, up-to-datedness, and appropriateness of text or audiovisual presentation.f) Logical organization and presentation of contents.g) High degree of readability and/or comprehensibility.h) High degree of user appeal.i) Quality format for general usage.j) High degree of artistic quality and/or literary style.k) Value commensurate with cost and/or need.Requests from faculty and students are given consideration by school librarians with assistance, as needed, from the district level staff. 5. Procedures for Selection – In recommending or selecting materials for purchase, the school librarian should evaluate the existing collection and consult:a) Reputable, unbiased, professionally prepared selection aids.b) Specialists from various curriculum departments and grade levels.c) Materials recommended by the district library media selection committees. Any materials ordered for purchase must be recommended by one or more of the above
sources or be approved by the library media staff at the district level. 6. Procedures Relating to Specific Types of Materials – The school librarian should use the following guidelines:a) Gift materials are accepted or rejected for school use by approved selection standards.b) Multiple copies of items in demand may be purchased as needed, up to four items per title.c) Serials and periodicals should be examined annually to determine their continued value to the collection.d) Full-length feature films (over 60 minutes) are not be purchased for the school library collection unless requested by a Curriculum & Learning supervisor.
