Dear Diary,

This entry is a bit delayed. I was meant to enter this sometime last week but I was soooooo busy finalising my program...anyway, i had a play with the ebsco , informit data bases and quite overwhelmed.....WOW!!!! Have started to save some articles, journals for reading later....(hopefully helpful with my assignment)....anyway(again)....I began to wonder how is the librarian from csu  able to gather sooooo much resources....then thought of my own library....I feel mine is not well resourced but then again I am in primary so I probably do not need that much....so the question is....How does a librarian know that she has a well resourced library???? is there a checklist...so I tried to find some answers and this is what I gathered:

• the creation of policies to guide material selection
• replacement of worn or lost materials
• weeding of materials no longer needed in the collection
• planning for new collections or collection areas
• cooperative decision-making with members of school community

from Collection Management: a concise introduction by John Kennedy

I suddenly felt really important!!!!!! The future of the students is on my hands!!!!!!
