This is an exciting time for Kansas School Libraries. The second year data (2006-07) in the Study of Kansas School Libraries has been collected, analyzed, and recorded on the study's website. In brief, this study provides strong evidence that the school librarian is a professional educator who is both highly qualified and highly involved in information literacy instruction and student learning and achievement.
We encourage you to visit the website and take advantage of the evidence we are collecting there. A new document called "master list" has been added. This will hopefully serve as a tool to keep you informed about documents available on or linked to the website.

On August 3-6, 2008, I will be attending the International Association of School Librarians Annual Conference at the University of California, Berkeley. It will be a wonderful opportunity to interact with school librarians from around the world. I will present a session based on the Kansas study title "Focus on Global Education: Mixed Methods Approach to Understanding Macro and Micro Levels of Effective School Libraries from an Information Science Perspective."
I invite you to post a comment or add a new post on this blog. Please share your ideas about school libraries, information and technology literacy, and evidence-based practice.
Enjoy the summer - Mirah
