[LM_NET] TAR: SEC: District-wide Selection policy

[Nancy Westendorf <NWESTENDORF@ROCHESTER.RR.COM>]

Colleagues in the secondary libraries are updating the selection policy for our 
urban district. They asked me to post the following question to LM_NET.  I will 
post a HIT. 

I would like to compile a list of criteria other school districts use to select 
materials for their middle and/or high school libraries. What review sources are 
used? What, if any, sensitive material is avoided? Do school districts have 
separate criteria for selecting fiction vs. non-fiction? Any other comments or 
information will be appreciated.

Looking forward to impressing my colleagues. Maybe after this, they will join 
LM_NET, too :-)
