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.

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.

11. Some Reasons For Media Specialists & Media Centers media centers are needed because they are the heart of the school, providing servicesto every teacher and every student. As iowa is the heartland of the 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.

The survey questions were based on "Make the Connection: Quality School Library Media Program Impact Academic Achievement in Iowa." This FY2001 research project was conducted by the Library Research Service and funded by the State Library, the AEAs, and IEMA. The questions were modified by a subcommittee of the State Library Uniform Data Advisory Committee to be comparable with questions asked on the Public Library General Information Survey conducted by the State Library and the Academic Library Survey conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics.

She is pictured with Iowa First Lady Christie Vilsack and Iowa Educational Media Association President Loretta Moon, who presented the award. The future will require everyone to learn continually. The goal of the library media program is to enable all students to be independent, life-long learners who are skilled users of information and ideas. This goal is addressed through an information literacy curriculum which is taught collaboratively by media specialists and classroom teachers. The media specialist's knowledge of materials, technology, and strategies complements the instructional and content skills of the teacher. Integration of media and classroom activities is the essential element of the library media program with classroom instruction. The media program includes direct instruction in how to locate, use, and evaluate information. The use of technology for information-seeking constitutes an ever-expanding part of the library media program as students learn to access data through the use of computers, to use word processing to convey information, and to use other applications of technology to organize, analyze, and present information. Each library media center includes an automated materials catalog, access to resources on CD-ROM, telecommunications capabilities, and computers and other equipment for production of student work.
