Standards for school libraries

[Harry Willems <harryw@MIDUSA.NET>]

Kansas does not have state standards for school libraries.  "Information
Power" even the new edition is not specific enough for the vast aray of
sizes of schools and types of communities in Kansas.  "Information Power"
are more standards of quality, helpful, but standards of quantity based on
actual inventories provides more incentive to emulate good schools.

Denise Erwin (Andover HS) and I are doing a presentation at Kansas
Tri-Conference (KASL, KLA, KAECT) in two weeks, and we will be testing the
waters for writing school standards for Kansas.

I would like to hear from all states that have school standards and
electronic links to them if they are available.  Let us know how they are
used and how they are applied (used by librarians, applied by
administration).  If electronic links are unavailble, please let me know
where I may obtain a written copy.

Respond directly to <harryw@midusa.net> and <dirwin@feist.com>.
