Book Review: Successfully Serving the College Bound

Abstract

As the old saying goes, “forewarned is forearmed.” No truer words have been spoken about high school students preparing to enter college. Traditionally, parents, teachers and guidance counselors have prepared college-bound students with advice and programs to help them find and reach acceptance to their choice of college. But librarians, as information and research specialists, and usually known in secondary education as media specialists, can also successfully prepare high school students for college entrance. Africa S. Hands, with her book Successfully Serving the College Bound, provides a useful and resourceful handbook on how media specialists can successfully serve the college-bound student.
