Description: From School Library Journal
Experienced grant researchers and university librarians Hall-Ellis and Jerabek provide a systematic approach to every aspect of the grant process. Each section breaks down important concepts and is clearly supported by reproducible forms, examples, and lists. Two important segments address budget and personnel considerations. The project-evaluation section includes data-collection instruments and time lines, while a final chapter discusses practical suggestions such as publicity and writing letters of appreciation. Grant writers will find the comparison of successful and poor grantsmanship and a list of 50 tips to be especially useful tools. The substantial annotated bibliography covers both print and nonprint resources; a list of federal grant programs rounds out the abundant practical information. This surprisingly readable guide should be on every school library media specialist's professional shelf.andndash;Susan McCaffrey, Haslett High School, MI
