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.

Information on training, advocacy, and statewide visibility efforts. Colorado Library Card (Statewide Borrowing) A reciprocal borrowing program to allow library card holders from participating libraries to borrow materials from other participating libraries. Colorado Resource Center (Denver Public Library) Unlike some states, Colorado does not have a large central collection or library facility that lends materials statewide. For many years, the Colorado State Library contracted with the Denver Public Library to serve the entire state as the Colorado Resource Center (CRC), a substitute for a central state collection. DPL provided non-Denver residents with access to its large and varied collections and reference services. Materials were loaned to all Colorado libraries through interlibrary loan, and reference and information services were provided to all Colorado residents in person, by phone, or via electronic mail. Reduced funding during fiscal year 2002-2003, however, has required elimination of the CRC. Libraries of all types throughout Colorado continue to honor interlibrary loan requests, and many are helping with reference and information services, too, attempting to compensate for the loss of the CRC.

NEW STUDY SHOWS IMPACT OF SCHOOL LIBRARIES, LIBRARIANS, ON STUDENTS Educators and parents agree children need good skills to succeed in school. But how do they gain these skills? A new study shows that strong library media programs are an important component. "How School Librarians Help Kids Achieve Standards-the Second Colorado Study," just released by the Library Research Service of the Colorado State Library, Colorado Department of Education, demonstrates that student scores on standardized tests are ten to eighteen percent higher at schools with outstanding library media programs and staff. Deputy Commission of Education Dick Elmer said, "We are beginning to isolate data which enables us to determine the factors that contribute to higher student achievement on the CSAP (Colorado Student Assessment Program) test. I've always believed school libraries play a critical role in successful teaching. I'm not surprised they contribute to higher CSAP scores." The study found that CSAP reading scores are higher in schools whose library media programs are better staffed, stocked, and funded, and where library media specialists play a leadership role in their schools, collaborate with classroom teachers in the design and delivery of instruction, and utilize computer networks to extend the reach of the library media center throughout the school. * School library media specialists who are leaders meet regularly with their principals, serve with teachers on standards and curriculum committees, and meet regularly with their own staff.

Proof of the Power: Quality Library Media Programs Affect Academic Achievement by Keith Curry Lance Director, Library Research Service Colorado State Library and University of Denver MultiMedia Schools • September 2001 T he evidence is mounting! By early 2000, researchers affiliated with the Library Research Service of the Colorado State Library and the University of Denver—myself included—had completed four statewide studies on the impact of school library media programs on the academic achievement of U.S. public school students: "Information Empowered: The School Librarian as an Agent of Academic Achievement in Alaska" "Measuring Up to Standards: The Impact of School Library Programs and Information Literacy in Pennsylvania Schools" "How School Librarians Help Kids Achieve Standards, The Second Colorado Study" "Good Schools Have School Librarians: Oregon School Librarians Collaborate to Improve Academic Achievement" Philosophically, these studies are rooted in the "Information Power" model espoused by the American Association of School Librarians and the findings from 6 decades of research related to the impact of school library media programs on academic achievement. The latest edition of Information Power: Building Partnerships for Learning (1998) identifies three roles for school library media specialists. In a learning and teaching role, library media specialists advance the instructional goals of the school. As providers of information access and delivery, they develop collections and services and facilitate their use. And, as program administrators, they serve as library media center managers as well as school-wide advocates and trainers for information literacy.

At this time, elementary schools were creating centralized school libraries by merging all the classroom collections and making those resources available to all the children of the school. Gaver found that academic achievement was significantly higher when: (citation: Gaver, Mary V.
