TARGET: Library Staffing Standards

[Esther Eash <weash@kscable.com>]

I am looking for  library media center staffing standards for each
state. This would include staffing levels for certified professionals as
well as para-professionals or clerical assistants. These could be broken
down by minimum standards,  exemplary standards,  by grade level, or by
number of students in the building-- however the state sets the
standards.

So far, I have staffing standards from AASL and the North Central
Association,  and from the following states:  Massachusetts, Texas,
Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania.

If you have this info for your state, or even better -- a web link that
would direct me to this information, I'd be very grateful. I'm trying to
create a document that includes information from each state to use as
ammunition when requesting higher staffing levels in library media
centers.  If there's enough interest, I'll be glad to share the results
as a hit when I'm finished.

Thanks
