Student Learning through Ohio School Libraries , a large-scale study on the effects of school librarians on the education of students has recently presented their results. The study was a research project on how school libraries help students learn. Dr. Ross Todd and Dr. Carol Kuhlthau, conducted the research for this study.
The goals for the study were: 1. to provide comprehensive and detailed empirical evidence of how school libraries help students learn, and 2. to provide recommendations for further research, educational policy development and tools for the school librarian to chart how their school library impacts learning.
I have about as much interest in children and School Libraries as W.C. Fields might, but it seems like a worth link to pass along.
