This was posted by Middle Web's "Of Particular Interest" weekly email and I
thought it might be valuable to some of you who are "fighting the good
fight".  The link for this article and others of possible interest can be
found at http://www.middleweb.com/mw/aaOfPartInt.html

How can school libraries boost academic achievement and help schools meet
and surpass the expectations of No Child Left Behind? This page at the
Library Research Service offers the latest research and plenty of ideas for
middle school librarians and school leaders who want to harness the
potential power of the school library to accelerate teaching and learning.
You'll find studies from more than a dozen states as well as recent
articles, including news from students about "why their library media
centers rock!"
