[LM_NET] TARGET: Author visits and research

[Barbara Braxton <barbara.288@BIGPOND.COM>]

I am writing an article about author visits and am wondering if there is any
research about the impact of a visit on students' reading, beyond a warm
fuzzy feeling when they pick up the work of someone they have met.  This is
particularly for primary (elementary) students.  

I have the two articles available in TEACHER LIBRARIAN but if anyone has any
other suggestions I would appreciate them .

Thanks 
Barbara
