Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Describes how school librarians and principals can collaborate for the benefit of their students and communities.
School library professionals around the world understand that the leadership of the school principal impacts the success of the school library. School Librarians and Principals Leading Together offers a timely collection of research literature addressing the role of the principal in adopting, implementing, evaluating, and institutionalizing school libraries.
An international group of contributors makes this a wide-ranging and comparative study of the important relationship between principals and librarians in service of student learning and achievement. Chapter topics include principals' perceptions of the impact of the school library on student academic achievement, flexible scheduling, school libraries as technology hubs, and the ways in which the impact of the library/librarian is assessed. Chapters travel the world from rural Thailand to New Zealand to China to the United States. Anyone interested in better understanding international perspectives and alternative approaches to the partnership between school principals and librarians will greatly appreciate this research.
