Textbooks

  Required (either access to free on-line holding via Gee Library or optional purchase):

   Schmidt, William D. & Rieck, Donald Arthur. (2000) Managing media services : Theory and practice (2nd ed.) Englewood, CO: Libraries Unlimited, Inc.
   ISBN: 1-56308-530-5  (2nd ed.)

Online Text Record in A&M-Commerce Libraries
On-line Text (direct link to Schmidt-Rieck book)  You will need to connect to this book via our library portal if you do not yet have a free NetLibrary account established.
NetLibrary Home (you can login from here if direct link above does not work)

This is an online textbook freely accessible to TAMU-C students; therefore, PURCHASE IS OPTIONAL and no hardcopies have been requested to be stocked by the university bookstores.  Further, this book is now officially out of print so finding a hard copy might present a challenge, but, if you're up the hunt you can try places such as Amazon,  Barnes & Noble, eBay or any one of a variety of on-line sources.  As a reference, the going price for a new text when still in print, was $58.00.  Prices for OOP books can vary greatly.  If you find a new one for less that this, it's probably a good deal.  I've seen them in the $80-$90 range.  I have also see them on eBay in the $20-$30 range.

  Highly Recommended:

   Publication manual of the American Psychological Association. (5th ed.). (2001). Washington, DC: American Psychological Association.
   ISBN:  1-55798-791-2  (paperback)

The APA manual is available from practically any booksource. As a graduate student you most likely already have this book unless you are relatively new in your program.  If you don't have it, get it now.  If you're in a Doctoral program and don't have it already, shame on you.  ;-)  You can't write a dissertation in Ed. Leadership without it!  Note:  6th edition may also be used, although it has not been officially adopted by the Department of Educational Leadership.
