School
Library Research (Colorado 1989)- This research indicates
a correlation between student acheivement on standardized
testing ,in particular, and well staffed and funded School
Library Media Centers.The research was compiled from Colorado
schools by Colorado state librarian Lance Curry and others.
School
Library Research (Alaska, Pennsylvania and Colorado 2000/2001)
A similar recent study, but building upon the preceding one,
from three state School Library Media Centers. In all three
states the level of development of the library media program
was a predictor of student performance and data on staffing
levels correlated with test scores. Several variables were
controlled for, that were not in the previous studies, increasing
its validity. In both Pennsylvania and Colorado, additional
data on collections and expenditures were predictive of improved
reading scores.
