LM_NET+Archive

LM_NET has a wonderful archive of material that is extremely helpful in finding out how someone in the field is managing administrative or selection issues. It is also a font for information in helping you develop your own philosophical structure for running your library. The archives are located here: http://www.eduref.org/lm_net/archive/.

The drawback is that it is somewhat hard to FIND what you are looking for.

Some suggestions:
 * Be sure to use the Boolean AND to tie together terms if your first attempt doesn't work
 * Of course, the good old quotation marks around search terms may help as well.
 * Try different variations on the words your are searching for. Naturally some people write "HS" while others write "high school," for example.
 * After doing a search, you will get a "Return to search screen" link at the top left. **I never use this link.** It takes you back to a different screen than the one which starts searching the LM_NET archive. **Use your browser's left arrow instead.**

Another way to search the LM_NET archive was posted by Dr. Michael Bell on 5 Aug. 2010:

Use Google's advanced search and type:

site:eduref.org/lm_net/ "search term"

(Note there is **no** space between site: and the URL; there is a space between the URL and the first search term.
