ERIC Digest. 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.

ACCEPTABLE USE POLICIES - A HANDBOOK Virginia Department of Education Division of Technology Introduction Components Samples Forms and Templates Send additions or comments to: aup@mail.vak12ed.edu Return to VDOE homepage INTRODUCTION Many Virginia K-12 educators use the instructional resources found via shared educational tools, such as school and division-wide computer networks and the Internet. The increased use of such resources requires that administrators, teachers, library media specialists, students, and parents take steps to ensure that when used responsibly, these tools and the resources found by them are appropriate for use in K-12 instruction. In response to these concerns, schools or school divisions are required to establish guidelines for the appropriate use of computer networks. Such guidelines are generally called an Acceptable Internet Use Policy, or AUP. By definition, an AUP is a written agreement in the form of guidelines, signed by students, their parents and their teachers, outlining the terms and conditions of Internet use-rules of online behavior and access privileges. To assist school divisions, we have created an electronic "handbook" of resources. Since schools are at various stages of implementation in the use of computer networks, this electronic handbook does not prescribe a single Acceptable Internet Use Policy. Instead, it provides links to various sources of information that may be helpful to administrators, teachers, library media specialists, and parents in the development of a local AUP. The Internet is a virtual community based simply on courtesy and commonsense. A local AUP reflects the circumstances unique to the school or division, the electronic system used, and clearly defines what constitutes local responsible use of information networks.

Works Cited ABSTRACT Return to the top of this document. INTRODUCTION It is the mission of the school library media specialist to ensure that students are effective users of ideas and information (Kuhlthau 1993, 11). Dedicated library media specialists should make it their goals to understand that children and youth need access to information to find answers to problems, to pursue independent discovery of who they are and who they want to become, to obtain information that can assist them to overcome their weaknesses and enhance their strengths, and to allow them to build lifelong information-seeking patterns. Age should not be a barrier to the ability to access, receive, and utilize information. (Hooten 1989, 267) School media specialists have been presented with a challenge in obtaining their mission with the introduction of online catalogs into school libraries.

Back to Survey VEMA Survey: The Budget Results Home In the Mediagram's last issue an overview of the VEMA sponsored survey "The Status of School Library Media Specialists in Virginia" was printed. Dr. Linda Wilson, now retired Associate Professor in the Educational Media/Technology program at Radford University, administered this survey. With the end of the school year approaching and next year's budget in place it might be helpful in planning operational expenses to examine the following results to budgetary questions in the survey. In what range does your total media center's annual budget fall? (Include local, state, and federal sources.) TABLE 6 Budget Frequency Percent Less than $1000 More than $30,000 Frequency missing = 13 Comments : About a third of the respondents indicated that their annual budget is between $5001 and $10,000, making this answer the most frequently chosen from the choices given. Considering the escalating cost of books and the additional funds needed for technology, it is appalling to think there are even a small number of school libraries (10 respondents in this survey) that operate with annual budgets under $1000.

BOOK SELECTIONS FOR THE 2003 - 2004 SCHOOL YEAR: Don’t You Know There's a War Going On? by Avi Harper Collins; 2001 Set in Brooklyn, New York in 1943, this novel follows the lives of eleven-year-old Howie Crispers and his best friend Denny. Each boy’s father is a soldier serving during World War II. Howie and Denny participate in the wartime regimes of blackouts, scrap collections, and stamp drives. When the two boys overhear that Miss Gussim, their beloved teacher, is to be fired, they set out to “save” her. Their efforts and antics are set against the ever-present dread that their fathers could be injured or killed in the war. Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen Random House; 2001 Juli Baker and Bryce Loski, the two principle characters and narrators in this book, present typical experiences of eighth grade students. The pair portrays humor, romance and pain through Bryce’s immaturity and Juli’s passion for her chickens and Sycamore tree. The story captures the twists and changes in attitude concerning each other and the world around them as Juli and Bryce, friendly neighbors, recount their stories.

VIRGINIA SCHOOL WINS THE LEE ELLIOTT MEMORIAL GRANT The Kate Waller Barrett Elementary School Library in Arlington, Virginia has been selected to win the first annual Lee Elliott Memorial Award offered by the Millbrook Press in celebration of it’s 10 th anniversary. Ms. Rosyln Beitler, Library Media Specialist at the Kate Waller Barrett Elementary School, and longtime children’s advocate, submitted the winning application. “At our school, the library media center is the hub of the school, both literally and figuratively. Books are featured each month to tie into heritage festivals and cultural celebrations. Faculty are introduced to new titles through bagel and book breakfasts held in the library. Families attend monthly Library Night programs, as well as Science Discovery Fair Night held in the library and multimedia presentations by students who have completed research projects” says Ms. Beitler.. “I  work to present programs that encourage a livelong love of reading.“ According to Millbrook Press Chairman Howard Graham, “The Barrett Elementary School library is exactly the type of facility that Lee Elliott dedicated his professional life to support.

Report on the 1996 Referendum Projects Overview Schools Public Safety ... Report on the 1996 Bond Referendum Projects Schools More than 50,000 students, or one-fifth of Chesterfield County's population, attend its 59 public schools. Chesterfield is among the 100 largest school districts in the nation, offering a full range of services to meet the needs of all students. Chesterfield voters approved a $174.8 million school bond referendum in November, 1996, that built new schools, added to and renovated older schools and provided new technology for classrooms throughout the county. The fact that the bond referendum passed by an 83 percent YES vote is striking evidence of the support the community shows for its public schools. Maintaining high academic standards in a safe and respectful environment for learning, promoting community involvement in schools, using new technology and being accountable for continuous improvement are the focus of Chesterfield's accountability system. Completion of the projects approved in the referendum will advance the school system’s position in many of these areas.   Bond funding, supplemented with general fund revenues has allowed the county to deliver the improvements desired by the citizens. New Schools Project Budget Current Phase Planned Opening Spring Run Elementary $11.8 million
