This month's additions include:

Crash course in marketing for libraries.
Here is everything librarians, especially those in small libraries, need to know about marketing, PR, and advocacy. You'll learn what these things are, and why they make sense for the librarian in a small library. 

Information tomorrow: Reflections on technology and the future of public and academic libraries.
In Information Tomorrow, Rachel Singer Gordon brings together 20 of today's top thinkers on the intersections between libraries and technology. They address various ways in which new technologies are impacting library services and share their ideas for using technology to meet patrons where they are. 

Learn basic library skills.
This combination text and workbook describes skills needed by anyone beginning work in a library or other information agency, whether at a professional or paraprofessional level. It explains tasks performed by library trainees; aspiring library technicians; librarians starting their training; clerical, temporary, and volunteer staff; and others with no relevant education or experience. 

Library 101: A handbook for the school library media specialist.
The handbook covers everything from library management systems to budgeting, television production, and how to collaborate with teachers. Current issues in the field (LMS role as a reading teacher and LMS role in assessment of student learning) are discussed.

Managing stress and conflict in libraries.
Reducing conflict and stress results in significant benefits. Managers who accomplish this quickly see better recruitment and retention, employee commitment, performance and productivity, customer satisfaction, and organizational image and reputation.
