Requires each public school to post on website comprehensive list of all resources available in school library.
This New Jersey bill (S 508) requires every public school with a library to publicly list all library resources - such as books, periodicals, DVDs, and digital databases - on its website in an easily accessible location. Schools must update this list within 10 days of adding new resources. The school library media specialist must maintain the list, or the principal must appoint staff to do so if no specialist is employed. The law takes effect immediately and directly affects all public school districts in New Jersey with school libraries.
