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.

C omputer networks are entrenched in business, government, industry and universities, but how are they faring in K-12 schools? A recent report by the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment, "Teachers and Technology: Making the Connection," estimates that while 75 percent of public schools in the United States have access to local or wide area networks and other telecommunications and 35 percent have access to the Internet, only 3 percent of instructional rooms (such as classrooms, labs and media centers) are connected to the Internet. Yet, Educational Service Unit #3 (ESU #3) in Omaha, Neb., has defied statistics by providing 19 public school districts in eastern Nebraska with network connectivity and Internet services where one might least expect itin the classroom. ESU #3 is an intermediate service agency funded by the state that provides an array of supplementary educational services to K-12 school districts. ESU #3's functions include computing services and technical support. In this role, it links 90 buildings in a wide area network that spans four counties, 54,000 students, 4,000 teachers and several hundred admi nistrators. "The network exists to give K-12 school systems in Nebraska connectivity to one another and the Internet," says Don Ferneding, systems manager at ESU #3. State law funds Internet services in schools statewide, and ESU #3 has been aggressive in making connectivity a reality for 90 percent of the classrooms in its region using dedicated 56-Kbps links, T1 connections and dial-up services.

Collection development during the Library Power grant years is discussed, including the improvement of overall collections. Teachers became more involved in selection and used the collection more in instruction. Contributions of the library collection to instruction are discussed, particularly as the basis for collaboration efforts between the librarian and teachers designed to promote effective teaching and learning in the schools.

Program Advocacy Facilities Management The teacher librarian must develop a safe, functional, and attractive facilities that promotes easy access to information. From responsibilities related to the Americans with Disabilities Act to an understanding of traffic patterns, facilities management involves more than buying chairs and playing with floor plans. Regardless of whether you're building a new facility, renovating an old space, or just buying new furniture, you need to be well informed. This section on school library facilities will mainly focus on renovation and new building projects. However facility planning is needed for other projects; i.e., closing a library, moving a collection or portion of a collection, disaster recovery, etc. This section of the course contains the following related topics you'll want to investigate: Planning Elements of Facilities Open Library Close Library ...
