"Strong school libraries increase student
achievement." - California School Library Association
“Research from eleven states and over 4,000
schools documents that credentialed LMTs raise
achievement scores anywhere from 8-20%. Support
personnel alone in an LMC do not raise
achievement but credentialed LMTs do. Why?
Because the LMT concentrates on teaching and
learning rather than on managing a warehouse.
When there is no LMT, achievement suffers – its
people rather than just things that make the
difference.” -Loertscher, David V. with Ross J.
Todd. Evidence-Based Practice for School Library
Media Specialists. Salt Lake City UT: Hi Willow Research & Publishing, 2003.
