 I chose to be a high school of 500 students because this closely reflects the situation I currently find myself in. We are a small farming community with over 70% of our students qualifying for free or reduced lunches. Our students are extremely interested in current events, music, sports, movies, and the outdoors. The library currently does not have enough materials for all of the students to find a magazine that suits their interests. My rationale behind my choices is to try and provide a wider variety of material that will help draw students into the library. I want to provide periodicals that are both entertaining but also thought provoking. I would like for students to even be able to use these magazines to find more topics for papers and projects as well as to be able learn a little something about a particular area of interest they had not previously considered.

__**Newspapers**__
Total Subscription Costs-$706.43

I would be subscribing to five newspapers. One local, two state, and two national newspaper subscriptions is the recommended premium amount for a high school. I spoke with the librarian at the school I currently work for and she helped me compile the above list. We thought that this assortment of newspapers would give students a fairly accurate picture of the news on all three levels; local, state, and national. Even though her library is located in northern Arkansas her library subscribes to the St. Louis Post as well as USA Today and The Washington Post and we adjusted her current list of subscriptions to meet a Missouri school in a similar environment.

<span style="color: #b02f0d; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The Premium amount of magazines for a high school with an enrollment of 500 students is 22. I used reviews from, primarily, School Library Journal. I found that they had the most information about magazines and gave great reviews as to which publications would be most helpful and enjoyable for high school students. I filled in the gaps by speaking with our current school librarian and seeing what she uses in the library. We looked at a few publications that she would even like to add to the library as well. I tried to find titles that were both educational and fun. Some titles are there purely for enjoyment's sake but all of the titles would work for any student that needed to use sources for a current events project. Often times I find that students get to pick their own subjects for projects or papers but they can't find enough current information in the library to finish the project. I tried to keep that in mind when looking for titles so that students have both something entertaining and informative. I also worked to try and have a little something for everyone. My school is not extremely diverse in it's population so my variety is mainly in subject and gender availability, not so much in race. In a more ethnically diverse school I would look to add titles that reflected that diversity.

<span style="color: #b52911; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Professional magazines I was a little out of my element on. Our library doesn't subscribe to much in the way of professional journals, funding and lack of interest were the main reasons I was presented with. I wanted to find more professional journals related to different subjects, math, science, etc... I had a hard time finding specific reviews of some of the publications but several of the websites for the magazines had great "about us" sections. Most of the periodicals in this section I selected are general education magazines. They provide teaching strategies and ideas about a multitude of different ideas. I also chose several magazines that focused on education or at least made it a substantial part of their publications. Technology can be applied to any subject area so I think lots of teachers can find some use in those.
