Proof of the Power: Quality Library Media Programs Affect Academic Achievement by Keith Curry Lance Director, Library Research Service Colorado State Library and University of Denver MultiMedia Schools • September 2001 T he evidence is mounting! By early 2000, researchers affiliated with the Library Research Service of the Colorado State Library and the University of Denver—myself included—had completed four statewide studies on the impact of school library media programs on the academic achievement of U.S. public school students: "Information Empowered: The School Librarian as an Agent of Academic Achievement in Alaska" "Measuring Up to Standards: The Impact of School Library Programs and Information Literacy in Pennsylvania Schools" "How School Librarians Help Kids Achieve Standards, The Second Colorado Study" "Good Schools Have School Librarians: Oregon School Librarians Collaborate to Improve Academic Achievement" Philosophically, these studies are rooted in the "Information Power" model espoused by the American Association of School Librarians and the findings from 6 decades of research related to the impact of school library media programs on academic achievement. The latest edition of Information Power: Building Partnerships for Learning (1998) identifies three roles for school library media specialists. In a learning and teaching role, library media specialists advance the instructional goals of the school. As providers of information access and delivery, they develop collections and services and facilitate their use. And, as program administrators, they serve as library media center managers as well as school-wide advocates and trainers for information literacy.

INTER-MEDIA COLUMN Internet Resources: The World-Wide Web (WWW) by Michael J. Albright MC Journal: The Journal of Academic Media Librarianship , v3#2, Fall 1995:44-61 In this issue, we'll explore the "killer app" that now dominates the Internet, the World Wide Web (WWW). The WWW was conceived by the European Center for Particle Research (CERN) as a means of sharing data among scientists and made its debut in 1989. However, the Web did not become a standard desktop icon until the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) unveiled Mosaic as a WWW browser in 1992. Within a year, more than two million persons around the world were regular Mosaic users, and the Web soon made us forget all about Gopher. *Page 44* *Page 45* Why Is the WWW So Special? The World-Wide Web brought the "point-and-click" technology of the desktop to the Internet, in the process greatly increasing the potential for interactivity. While such features as graphics, photographs, audio and video were possible with Gopher and other applications, the Web was the first to integrate them into a single screen. The use of multifont text also became possible. And perhaps the most dynamic feature of the Web was hypertext, the ability to link words, phrases, or graphics with other files on the same server or halfway around the world. Hypertext applications have greatly increased our ability to organize information from multiple sources and access any of it with a single click of the mouse. What Do I Need to Know About the WWW to Use It?
