"Implementing Flexible Scheduling in Elementary School Libraries"
Abstract: Flexible scheduling implementation in elementary school library media centers where funding was not contingent on flexible scheduling is explored. Data from telephone interviews of SLMSs, their administrators, and their teachers will lead to a better understanding of how to implement flexible scheduling and deal with variables that affect implementation.
