Extractions: MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT This page contains links to research reports and other documents that show that school libraries make a difference to student achievement; that school libraries have a positive impact on students and on learning. There are documents from a number of countries. There are also links to articles in professional journals and newspapers that are based on these documents. This page is intended to help school librarians to answer the question, "Do school libraries make a difference?". School Libraries Work! This is a Research Foundation Paper published by Scholastic Library Publishing; it brings together research findings from almost ten years of school library-related research. The preface notes, "A substantial body of research since 1990 clearly demonstrates the importance of school libraries to students' education. Whether student achievement is measured by standardized reading achievement tests or by global assessments of learning, research shows that a well-stocked library staffed by a certified library media specialist has a positive impact on student achievement, regardless of the socio-economic or educational levels of the community." Student Learning Through Ohio School Libraries The OELMA web site has the report of the "Student Learning Through Ohio School Libraries" project carried out by Dr Ross Todd and Dr Carol Kuhlthau. Also available on the web site are a short PowerPoint presentation of the findings of this research project, the report itself as a downloadable PDF file, a fact sheet on the project, and a link to an article about the project in the February 2004 issue of

Many of our members present their own ideas at our meetings. We are often able to try out the technology being discussed or demonstrated in the computer lab here in the Media Center . Ideas for future meetings are discussed with the group in order to allow for new topics and to attempt to meet a variety of needs. We welcome new members and encourage anyone interested in learning about best-practice modeling for the use of technology in our schools to join us each month. please email or call to let us know you are coming so we can plan for materials and equipment.

Extractions: Home Administration Assessment Curriculum ... Links Reading Student Enrollment Over the past 6 years, Reading student enrollment numbers (projections and actuals) have been used and manipulated by school administration and special interest groups to reflect a need that does not exist. The most accurate, enduring projections were done in 1997 by Drummey, Rosane and Anderson (DRA) as part of the first Reading Memorial High School (RMHS) feasibility study However, ensuing studies by Massachusetts Institute for Social and Economic Research (MISER) and New England School Development Council ( NESDEC ) and "tweaked" numbers by Earl R. Flansburgh (then ERF&A, now FAI Flansburgh Associates, Inc.) continue to be used and misused by Reading school administratiors, depending upon the issue, audience and impact desired. October 21, 2002 student enrollment projections (available at the Nov. 4, 2002 Reading School Committee meeting) reflect a continued reduction in original projections

Multnomah County Library Survey of Multnomah County Library Public school media centers MassachusettsPolicy on Cooperation between Public Libraries and school Libraries http://www.cascadelink.org/ear/pslp/
Extractions: This project was funded by an LSTA grant titled The Public Library's Role in Student Success: a Planning Grant to Determine Best Practices for Multnomah County Library. For one year (January 2001-January 2002), two Multnomah County librarians conducted research, interviews, focus groups and surveys in an effort to identify the most effective strategies for the public library in supporting the academic success of students attending the eight public school districts in Multnomah County. This is a copy of the blank survey we sent out to every school library in all eight public school districts. All the information from the surveys is entered into the database we created for this project, but has yet to be analyzed. We plan to use this information to correlate data on school libraries and student achievement, library budget, collection, staffing, etc.
