A decade after the first edition of his guide, Hartzell finds that library advocacy and librarian influence are hot topics in the field. For that reason, the latest edition spends less time on the why and more on the how of building an influence base to improve the workplace. Hartzell, a pro-library school administrator, takes the perspective not of the librarian but of organizational influence to show school library media specialists how they can put research and theory to use to improve their situations. The guide can be used to help evaluate work relationships, focus or refocus attention on specific issues, and organize priorities. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
