School Library Media Center Annual Report
Studies in many states continue to show a link between strong library media center programs and student achievement. The Department of Education, Division of State Library Services began in school year 2007-08 its annual assessment of public school library media centers regarding student academic achievement and lifelong learning through information and technology literacy. The data collected will help raise awareness among elected state and local officials and other policy makers of the contributions made by school library media centers to student achievement. Additionally, the report will provide the information school boards need to determine the level of financial and resource support library media centers require to successfully fulfill their responsibilities. Library staff can use the report to assist in determining strengths and weaknesses of library media centers and staff in order to improve service to their students. This section will evolve through use over time. For now, the primary functions are: · Archive interpretation of questions for consistency through the years · Posting documents and reports · Discussionson using the data
