ED372759 May 94 The Impact of School Library Media Centers on Academic Achievement. ERIC Digest. Author: Lance, Keith Curry ERIC Clearinghouse on Information and Technology, Syracuse, NY. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. 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.

Public Information Office Factsheets Partner in Learning: The School Library Media Center A group of 4th graders goes to the school library media center to learn about a proposed surface coal mining operation on top of Black Mountain, the only mountain in Kentucky tall enough to be a real mountain. They research the topic using books, the Internet and other library resources. But they don't stop there. With guidance from the school library media specialist, the students contact representatives of the coal companies, environmental groups and the Kentucky Coal Council. They present their findings to the State Legislature and attempt to convince the coal company to switch to deep mining. A middle school student prepares a report on the American Saddlebreed horse, a breed of horse that she owns and rides in competition. In the library media center's CD-ROM encyclopedia, she finds a picture of the horse, which she downloads and inserts into the text of her written report, giving credit to the source. Once stocked mainly with books and other print materials, today's school library has been transformed into the school library media center with a full range of multimedia learning resources. And the school librarian is now a school library media specialist who works closely with teachers to teach students information skills they will need throughout their lives.
