Specialists Impact Student Achievement "What a school thinks about its library is a measure of what it thinks about education." ~ Harold Howe, former U.S. Commissioner of Education Students who score higher on "tests tend to come from schools which have more library resource staff and more books, periodicals and videos, and where the instructional role of the teacher-librarian and involvement in cooperative program planning and teaching is more prominent." ~ Keith Curry Lance, et. al. The Impact of School Library Media Centers on Academic Achievement "School library media specialists play an important role in improving student achievement through the teaching of information literacy, the promotion of reading literacy and the continued integration of technology. No where else in a school system does one see these three important factors come together. In order to be successful in these three areas, a student needs adequate resources, something school libraries have not had through national, state or local funds recently." ~ Gayle Geitgey, OELMA President, March 2001 .

School District of Philadelphia Library Programs and Services School Library Programs and Student Achievement: A Review of the Research by Debra Gniewek (May 1999) Lance: The role of the librarian correlates with student achievement In 1993, Keith Curry Lance and others, published the findings of a study funded by the U.S. Department of Education (Lance, 1993). The study showed the strength of the school library program as a clear predictor of academic achievement, reporting a positive correlation between school library expenditures, the role of the librarian, and student achievement. At every grade level studied, as the size of the center's staff and collection increased, test scores increased. Researchers concluded that: "Students at schools with better funded and staffed [school libraries] tend to achieve higher test scores, whether their schools and communities are rich or poor and whether the adults in the community are well or poorly educated." Lance is currently replicating the study in Alaska and our own state of Pennsylvania. Krashen: Higher reading scores for students with professional librarians In The Power of Reading , a meta-analysis of twenty years of reading research, Stephen Krashen reported that children get a substantial percentage of their reading material from the school library and that greater access to books and to centralized collections with professional librarians resulted in higher reading scores. Krashen found that school libraries which have larger, quality collections; which are available to students more hours; which provide comfortable and relaxing reading environments; and which are staffed with qualified school librarians, produce students with higher reading achievement (Krashen, 1993). In Krashen's own words:
