I recommend: <br />--Keywords for Children's Literature (2011) has quickly become a highly respected scholarly resource for children's literature, but there aren't any copies available through CONSORT and only a handful through OhioLINK, some of which are non-circulating. We need this!<br />--The 20th Century Children's Book Treasury (not available through CONSORT) and The 20th Century Children's Poetry Treasury (only available at OWU). Since college libraries don't always provide a lot of access to children's books, treasuries like the ones listed above are a great way for students to have access to a bunch of picture books/poetry all in one book.<br />--The Norton Anthology of Children's Literature (2005)Allison Kranekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15290973979424201584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156430563635406687.post-47997766774746396712011-01-31T00:07:55.622-05:002011-01-31T00:07:55.622-05:00nice! it woulddd be nice to have a few hard copies...nice! it woulddd be nice to have a few hard copies if we were to build up a section, but maybe that's just the librarian in me...<br /><br />and hey, you were close about the horn thing. to me it just sounded porn-related.hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457008924126836056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156430563635406687.post-92034495000990294312011-01-30T11:12:00.877-05:002011-01-30T11:12:00.877-05:00I was going to add a couple of journal titles, suc...I was going to add a couple of journal titles, such as _Children's Literature_ and _The Horn Book_, but it turns out that we already have access to them both through electronic subscriptions! That route really is changing the way I think about library coverage.<br /><br />BTW, I had thought that a "horn book" was a reference to a cornucopia-type thing. But no! Do a google on it--it's an old pedagogical tool for learning the alphabet, sort of like a big flat paddle with letters. Very interesting, and with overtones of catechism.
