Let an undefended book be a condemned book. This must be the accepted philosophy of the library. Gone must be the static conception of the library as a storage organ, and in its place we must conceive of the library as a dynamic circulatory system, a channel through which books pass on their way from the publisher to the incinerator.

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.

Our kids deserve certified people in all areas of the school so that the curriculum is followed and enhanced. media centers are needed because they are the heart of the school, providing services to every teacher and every student. As iowa depends on iowa, the school media center is http://www.iema-ia.org/IEMA309.html

Suggestions #1. Our kids deserve certified people in all areas of the school so that the curriculum is followed and enhanced. Without a certified media person, the money spent on the media center is not used within the curriculum as effectively. Suggestion#2. When you're trying to teach a dog to hunt, you need to make sure you have the right breed. You can't teach a toy poodle to hunt a pheasant because he/she isn't a hunting dog. A media specialist is the right kind of person to have in that position because they are already prepared to help students. Suggestion #3. All media specialists are required to be certified teachers also. That means they are well versed in working with students, teachers, and administrators. They know how to support curriculum and can team with teachers to have very successful learning experiences. Suggestion #4. To be an effective farmer, you must know the procedure to use in growing crops. Someone not trained as a farmer will find themselves very quickly out of farming. If we ask a non-trained person to take the role of that media specialist, we are asking that our students not grow educationally. Suggestion#5. Media specialists are excellent mentors to all of the rest of the faculty, administration and staff at their schools. They are there as colleagues, team members, consultants, committee members, etc.

By 2000, it was widely known that successor studies had been completed in Alaska, Pennsylvania, and Colorado, and that an Oregon study was in progress. Realizing the potential for such a study in Iowa, the AEA media directors raised funding for this purpose. In 2000, the Iowa AEA media directors contracted for this study with the team of researchers responsible for the other three state studies in progress: Marcia J. Rodney, the principal investigator for this study; Keith Curry Lance; and Christine Hamilton-Pennell. In addition to confirming in Iowa the findings of the first Colorado study, this project also sought to explore several issues that were being explored in the other state studies. Those issues included:

16. Are Librarians Really Worth It? Between the Availablitity of Libraries and the Academic Achievement of iowa High school Lance,The Impact of school Library media centers on Academic http://ccsd.net/schools/watson/libraryresearch.html

Are Librarians Really Worth It? First, what is a librarian? The word librarian or even library media specialist can be misleading. This is because we are not talking about somebody who is simply a 'librarian,' or a person who checks out, catalogs and shelves books all day. Neither is this discussion about a 'media specialist,' who would sit behind a desk offering advice to teachers about which tools they should use in their lessons. This question refers to the relative value of a "teacher-librarian." In addition to running a library, this person is a 'teacher,' who instructs as many periods a day as any regular classroom teacher. This teacher-librarian almost always has post-baccalaureate experience with solid classroom foundations. It is important to understand this as it relates to student achievement. What evidence supports having a teacher-librarian in an elementary school? Students who attend a school with a library and a teacher-librarian . . . perform significantly better on tests for basic research skills. This includes locational skills, outlining and notetaking.

20. The Media Center: Why Are Media Positions Cut? How Not To Survive! In an iowa district, fulltime elementary media In a large Illinois school district, cuts were supposed cuts actually made impacted the media centers at each http://www.infotoday.com/MMSchools/may02/anderson.htm

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. In a large Illinois school district, cuts were supposed to be made at all levels, but the only cuts actually made impacted the media centers at each building. A media specialist who left was not replaced. In a Southern state, elementary media specialists were given additional teaching assignments such as teaching reading an hour and a half a day, yet were listed as full-time media specialists in the building. 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. What's Happening? Why?
