FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC INTRODUCTION Advocates of school library media programs have long been convinced of the relationship between quality library media programs and academic achievement. Most studies of this relationship were conducted between 1959 and 1979, were limited in scope, and usually used a small number of subjects in a limited geographical area. This study was designed both to update the existing research and to examine the relationship between library media programs and student achievement. METHODOLOGY Ideally, schools included in the sample for a study such as this would be selected on a random, stratified, or quota basis. None of these sampling designs was possible, because schools included in the sample had to have library media centers that responded to the 1989 survey of school library media centers in Colorado and had to use the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS) or Tests of Achievement and Proficiency (TAP). These data were available for only 221 of 1,331 public elementary and secondary schools in Colorado during the 1988-89 school year. The study relied entirely upon available data about school library media centers and their school and community contexts to predict norm-referenced test scores.

Extractions: The 2003 Georgia General Assembly session was the longest (40 session days plus 35 days of working recess) since 1889 and perhaps the most contentious session on record with the changes in leadership and party control. Education issues were among the most debated with many feeling that the new administration was out to ditch former Governor Barnes A+ Educational Reform Act of 2000 or H. B. 1187. Complete reversal was not the case, but several changes will affect library media center programs during the 2003-04 school year. Look for more discussion and perhaps changes next year as the Republican leadership attempts to give more local control of decision-making and state funds to the local school systems. GLMAs Restore the Funds campaign was successful in that we were heard. However, the declining state economy caused further education budget cuts. The good news is that library media center allotments were not among them. Therefore, the allotment remains at $9.77 per FTE for 2003-04. As the state budget and supplemental budget are adopted each year by the General Assembly, this amount is not fixed for more than one year. An upswing in the economy between now and January could result in additional money in the supplemental budget toward the end of the school year, but with current conditions, do not look for this to happen.

Extractions: The Development of School Libraries in South Carolina The following speech was delivered by Margaret Ehrhardt on March 31, 1988 as the Third Annual Deans' Lecture of the University of South Carolina College of Library and Information Science. Ms. Ehrhardt was Supervisor of School Library Services for the South Carolina State Department of Education from 1970 until the early 1980s. THE CRUCIAL YEARS: SCHOOL LIBRARY MEDIA CENTERS The years 1945-1985 were crucial years for school library programs, not only in South Carolina, but for the nation as well. The ALA Handbook for 1944 showed that only 15 states had school library supervisors. It was interesting to note that seven of these were Southern states, including North Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee. Tonight I should like to explore with you some of the significant events that have helped to shape the development of school library media programs in our state. The first significant factor was the employment by the State Department of Education of the first Supervisor of Library Services. It is seldom that one can pinpoint the beginning of a library media program, but this is not true of school library media services in South Carolina. The date was March 29, 1946, and the time was 11:00. It was then that an announcement was made to the School Library Section of the South Carolina Education Association which was in session at University High School here in Columbia that the State Department of Education had received a grant from the General Education Board (of the Rockefeller Foundation) to employ a Library Supervisor. This was the first attempt to bring structure into what had been haphazard library development in the schools.

Each winner received a $5,000 cash prize and an inscribed crystal obelisk donated by Follett Library Resources. Timothy Dwight Elementary School, Fairfield, Connecticut, received the single school award. Serving 516 K-5 students and their parents, Timothy Dwight Elementary School has a vibrant media center led by Dorna Persson, library media specialist. Supported by the principal, Gary Kass, this program is a "fine example of a collaborative program tightly woven into classroom curriculum," according to Sheila Salmon, committee chair. Persson, with the library staff and a cadre of forty parent volunteers fulfill the school's mission to create opportunities for each child to "become independent, effective, responsible and creative users of ideas and information." The Iowa City Community School District, Iowa City, Iowa was the winner in the small district category. Mary Jo Langhorne, Media Coordinator, and Barbara Grohe, Superintendent, provide leadership., technical services and staff development. In the schools, the library media center is integral to teaching and learning. "The committee was particularly impressed with the extent that the district promoted self study and planning." reported Salmon. Through a planning cycle members of the school communityteachers, library media specialists, administrators, parents, and community members develop and implement curricular action plans.

Extractions: Password Notification and Change Schedules GALILEO produces and provides many databases that are available to any Web user, including the Digital Library of Georgia. GALILEO controls access to other databases through user authentication, as required by contracts with the databases' vendors. The GALILEO system handles this authentication by validating the IP addresses of computers at all participating GALILEO institutions, and also by issuing passwords to these institutions for remote users. All GALILEO participating libraries, whether public or private, excluding schools (K-12), must provide some kind of access to GALILEO for the public, whether through open access to all library facilities, limited access to designated workstations, waiting lists, or other means. In this way, participating libraries fulfill the vision of GALILEO and reciprocate the sharing spirit in which it was created. back to top GALILEO's user communities in Georgia include K-12 public schools, public libraries, University System of Georgia institutions, technical colleges and institutes, and colleges and universities in the Georgia Private Academic Libraries (GPALS) and Atlanta-Macon Private Academic Libraries (AMPALS) consortia. The Georgia General Assembly funds a core group of databases for all of these communities except AMPALS and GPALS, which provide their own funding for the same core resources. In addition to these databases, each community also has the option to purchase access to additional databases of its choice.

Extractions: The Media Center Why Are Media Positions Cut? How Not to Survive! by Mary Alice Anderson Lead Media Specialist, Winona Middle School, Winona, Minnesota MultiMedia Schools May/June 2002 Let's examine practices that illustrate how not to survive. Only when we face the "fatal errors" that can be made can we get to higher ground. H ave you noticed that there are fewer media specialists than in the past? In an Iowa district, full-time elementary media specialists were replaced with half-time media specialists; in other schools clerical time was reduced. Almost an entire district media department, including its director, was eliminated in a large Minnesota district a year ago. In another district, full-time media program paraprofessionals have replaced media specialists in all elementary schools. This spring even more media specialist positions in Minnesota are in danger because of state funding limitations and the failure of many school districts to pass operating fund initiatives.

Extractions: The City of New Haven under the direction of Mayor John DeStefano, Jr., is bridging the digital divide using a grant from 3Com's landmark Urban Challenge program. The generous stipend will enable the City to develop networked libraries and LEAP community learning centers throughout the city, where they will augment a wide range of after-school academic programs. Using 3Com systems, the City will move significantly closer to fulfilling its four-phased "Network New Haven" initiative, which aims to provide computer resources and training to at risk residents and school-age children living in public housing. The grant will provide New Haven with 3Com networking equipment including high-performance LAN switches and wireless systems to establish and strengthen digital networks in the four city libraries and LEAP Centers. It will support hardware and software acquisition and related consulting services at the libraries, and provide seed money for curriculum development of programs such as the "Skills for Life," which mentors, educates and employs students from eighth grade through high school graduation. New Haven also will use the grant to establish and expand community media centers for use by youth and families. These facilities will complement existing media centers within the New Haven school and library systems. 3Com will provide wireless to facilitate access to the Internet and library databases.
