The following pages from the Handbook for School Libraries (1998) are in jpg format. Your browser will most likely reduce them in size. To read them onscreen, you will need to magnify them. In IE7, there is a small magnifying icon at the bottom right of the browser screen. Other current browsers will have similar functions, although possibly located elsewhere. If you use the 'enlarge text' option in the View menu, it won't work as these are images, not text.
