[LM_NET] TAR: School library and student achievement research in Canadian schools

[Louise Gorvett <Louise.Gorvett@WCDSB.EDU.ON.CA>]

Hello friends,
I am looking for leads to recent/on-going/proposed research on school libraries and 
student achievement in Canadian schools.  I have the June 2003 paper "The Crisis in 
Canada's School Libraries: The Case for Reform and Reinvestment" written by Ken 
Haycock, as well as the 2003 CSLA/ATLC document on school library standards.  
According to Dr. Haycock's June 2003 paper, no one had, at that point, done any 
Canadian-specific research in this area.  Are you aware of any studies (similar to 
the Ohio, Colorado, Alaska, etc studies) done since then, or under way at this time?
Thanks
