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.

Extractions: Today's school library media centers offer a full range of learning resources. The school library media specialist plans collaboratively with teachers to teach information skills as they are needed for classroom assignments, in a progression and repeated often enough to ensure that these skills will be maintained for a lifetime. Libraries are at the heart of the learning experience for almost 39 million elementary, middle and high school students in schools with library media centers. Ensuring that all students have the resources they need to prepare them to live and work in an information society challenges many school systems hard pressed for funding. Funding for schools comes primarily from local property taxes, with some funding from state and federal governments. Through the 'Improving Literacy Through School Libraries Grants' program, school libraries will receive the first direct federal funding for materials in almost 30 years. On average, schools annually spend about $21 per student, about the cost of one hardcover book, on print and non-print library resources. School libraries and student achievement

What Has Created California's School Facilities Predicament? and national experts characterize existing school facilities as as science labs andlibrary/media centers, and space woefully missing in many california schools http://www.edsource.org/pub_edfct_pred.cfm
Extractions: C alifornians spent over $20 billion on school facilities from 1986 to 1996. But as large as that investment might sound, it has been inadequate to meet a tremendous statewide need. That need arises from two sources. One is the growth in Californias student population, which today exceeds the peak years of the baby boom by over one million students. The other problem is the number of older school buildings in need of repair, renovation, and modernization. California Needs More School Buildings Educators and political leaders from both parties agree that California must have a steady supply of new school buildings to meet the current and projected need. That need arises both from the growth in student population and changes in educational programs, particularly Californias class size reduction program.
