Extractions: Princeton Junction, NJ December 1998 Introduction In the autumn of 1998 in the state of Rhode Island, librarians from all types of libraries, library users, and the staff of the state library were interviewed in a series of focus groups to assess the library community and to define needs, desires, priorities, and goals to guide RI library development over the next few years. In order to facilitate this, Leslie Burger, a library consultant from Library Development Solutions, Princeton, NJ, was engaged to run a series of focus groups and to report on the findings. These groups who participated were: Office of Library and Information Services Staff (OLIS) Rhode Island Library Association (RILA) Rhode Island Educational Media Association (RIEMA) Higher Education Library Information Network (HELIN) Consortium of Rhode Island Academic and Research Libraries (CRIARL) Library users from the municipalities of Jamestown, Cranston, Lincoln, and Providence

Extractions: School Libraries Get Top Marks with Help from IMLS Grants Students in schools with media centers that are well-staffed, have networked technology, and have strong collections perform better on standardized tests, according to a major study funded in part by IMLS. The Library Research Service of the Colorado State Library released a report in June 2000. It showed that state reading scores for students in schools that focused on improving their library programs were, on average, eight to 21 percent higher than similar schools without such development, even when other factors like community demographics are taken into account. Findings from this and other studies across the country prove what many in the library community already know: that school media centers can make a big difference in student achievement. Through the administration of Library Services and Technology (LSTA) grants through state library agencies, IMLS has developed a track record of support for school libraries and librarians. Many of these libraries are earning extra credit with students, teachers, principals, and communities with projects that reach underserved audiences, promote literacy and reading, improve collections, and use technology creatively. Lesson in partnership The Federal Hocking School District is located in the rural foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in southeastern Ohio. District services are spread across 250 square miles, and the public library is as far as 20 miles away from the homes of some residents. District librarian Bonnie Lackey strives to provide library services to the district's 1,444-student population, which includes many from low-income families. A coalition between the school district and the Nelsonville public library was formed as a result of LSTA funds. The coalition established the
