Good afternoon,
At the 2007 ALA Midwinter Meeting, the American Association of School
Librarians (AASL) launched its first annual survey, School Libraries
Count! to identify and track trends in school library media programs
across the country. We know we need more and better data about our
school libraries to advocate more effectively at all levels.
While we have been thrilled by the volunteer response, the response
rate from the random, stratified sample has been low. These respondents
are vital to the survey! Without their participation, we will not be
able to draw statistically significant national data.
We need your help! Please participate in the survey and please help us
get the word out to your colleagues! We designed the survey to be very
brief, and the information provided will be used to develop advocacy
materials for school library media programs.
Schools in the sample received a letter addressed to "School Library
Media Specialist," sent by RSL Research Group and signed by Cyndi
Phillip on January 2, and received a reminder postcard next week. They
can access the survey at
http://www.aaslsurvey.org through Friday, March 16.
Thank you!
