Funding School Library Funding School Library Funding This Page: On Other pages: Last Update: 15-Feb-2005 16:31 The Improving Literacy Through School Libraries program is designed to improve student literacy skills and academic achievement by providing schools with up-to-date library materials and to ensure that school library media centers are staffed by well-trained and professionally certified school media specialists. The program is administered by the Department of Education and is the first program specifically aimed at upgrading school libraries since the original school library resources program was established in 1965. Numerous studies* show there is a clear link between the quality of library media programs in schools staffed by an experienced school library media specialist and student academic achievement. School library media centers can contribute to improved student achievement by providing up-to-date instructional materials aligned to the curriculum and instructional practices, collaborating with and supporting teachers, administrators, and parents, and extending their hours of operation beyond the school day.

Presidential Committee on Information Literacy: Final Report Librarians have embraced these challenges by pioneering innovative ways to assist and educate their clientele in navigating what has become an increasingly vast universe of information. The National Forum on Information Literacy defines the information literate individual as one who possesses "the ability to know when there is a need for information", and to " be able to identify, locate, evaluate, and effectively use that information for the issue or problem at hand." Librarians are committed to information literacy by empowering users with the knowledge and skills essential for reaping the full benefits of our information rich society.

Extractions: Summary Report Feature Article by Jan Hawkins, Robert Spielvogel, and Erica Marks Panush Like many urban school districts, Union City has faced numerous educational challenges. In 1989, under guidelines established by New Jersey's State Education Department, the Union City School District received a rating that prompted the state to consider takeover. Out of 52 areas that the state investigated, Union City was found to be failing in 40. Student attendance, drop-out and transfer rates, as well as scores on standardized tests, were below state averages. The state gave the Union City school district a five year window of time in which to improve the educational climate dramatically. The district was required to develop a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) that would address the 40 problem areas systematically. In 1989 the district implemented a five year plan to bring about substantive changes in their educational system. The planning team, headed by the Executive Director of Academic Programs, Fred Carrigg, recommended that the district adopt a whole language approach to learning, and in January of 1990 the school board passed a resolution to implement this approach. There were three main objectives that were central to the district's new educational agenda:

Extractions: January/February 1999 Designing Modern School Media Centers By Patricia A. Petracco School libraries are not what they were in the past. In fact, the contemporary term used for them is "school/library media centers" which points to the fact that they have become multimedia learning centers for students and staff. The look of the modern school library is different too. The warehouse image of tall stacks filled with books, a few reading tables and a small circulation desk has been replaced with new designs to accommodate the changing role of the school media center. In the modern school library, space is likely to be more open to permit flexibility of use; shelving and furniture will reflect the variety of materials now available as well as the multipurpose activities in which students participate; and computers, now considered an essential information appliance, will be very visible. In some places, the old circulation desk has been replaced with a self-checkout system, enabling the media specialist (or librarian) to spend more time working with students. Using the basic design concept that "form follows function," the design of school media centers has evolved to accommodate their expanding role in the education process. The media center is an integral part of the school's instructional program. The goal of the school library/media center is to help students develop "information literacy"the ability to find and use information. Thanks to electronic technology, libraries can now expand students' information access beyond the physical limits of the school building to almost any place in the world.
