John Bailey Bailey's mission is to promote technology under the Bush administration's education plan, "No Child Left Behind," which emphasizes reading and literacy, and he expects librarians to play a pivotal role in its success. "[Librarians] have become incredibly useful information guides on the Internet," he explains. "Now that becomes even more critical. The problem is not that we have a limited access to information. It's that there's too much information. Students and adults need [information literacy] skills to be able to determine what's credible." Bailey must submit his ideas to Congress by January 2003. Although the plan is in its early stages, Bailey anticipates he will recommend which schools need to upgrade their online networks. His proposal will also target narrowing the "digital divide," so that economically disadvantaged students and their families don't miss out on the benefits of technology. Bailey will also incorporate President's Bush desire to promote distance learning by including ways in which teachers can hone their skills through online courses and students can gain access to advanced-placement and specialized classes.

33. Are Librarians Really Worth It? and school without Libraries (PH.D. dissertation, University of pennsylvania, 1970)as Lance,The Impact of school Library media centers on Academic http://www.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.

What a school district thinks about its libraries is a measure of what it feels about education! “There is a significant body of research that demonstrates that a qualified teacher-librarian (media specialist) has a positive impact on school culture and student achievement. Indeed, several studies have been established that teachers collaborate more in schools with a teacher-librarian and students read more, enjoy reading more, write better, access and use information more effectively and excel in academic content areas.” Ken Haycock, 1996. “Competencies for Teacher-Librarians in the 21st Century,” Teacher-Librarian, February, 1996. “What do students need in order to succeed? The latest research insists they need strong library programs. There is one clear and consistent finding that is supported by our research: a school library media program with a full-time library media specialist, support staff, and a strong computer network leads to higher student achievement.” Hamilton-Pennell, Christine, et.al. “Dick and Jane Go to the Head of the Class,” School Library Journal, April, 2000, p. 44-47.
