  • Guidelines for Library Media Programs in Louisiana Schools
    GUIDELINES FOR LIBRARY MEDIA PROGRAMS IN LOUISIANA SCHOOLS May 2020 CONTENTS Guidelines for Library Media Programs in Louisiana Schools ............................................................1 Recommended Staffing Guidelines .......................10 Louisiana Student Library Guidelines ...................11 Acknowledgments ....................................................... 30 Resources for Further Information ........................ 31 GUIDELINES FOR LIBRARY MEDIA PROGRAMS IN LOUISIANA SCHOOLS Research studies provide strong evidence that student achievement is significantly higher in schools where a strong library program exists.1 According to the American Association of School Librarians (AASL),2 the best measure of effectiveness of a school library program is the extent of its impact on student learning. Scholastic released the 2016 edition of School Libraries Work! A Compendium of Research Supporting the Effectiveness of School Libraries. In this document it is stated, “The major themes supported by the research highlighted in this report confirm that: a credentialed school librarian, collaboration and co-teaching, technology access, and collection size all elevate student learning.”3 Therefore, comprehensive school library programs have a positive impact on student learning when: 1. Staffed with certified school librarians. 2. The librarian co-teaches and collaborates with other teachers. 3. Library patrons are able to access up-to-date technology. 4. The level of library expenditures provides a quality collection of books and electronic information resources selected to support the school’s curricula. 5. The library collection is expansive, diverse, and easily accessed by library patrons. The purpose of this document is to set forth guidelines of excellence for school library programs in Louisiana by focusing on the role of the school librarian as an active partner in the teaching and learning process.

  • Management Training in Library School: Do Graduate Programs Prepare an Individual for Real
    Endnotes: The Journal of the New Members Round Table | Volume 2, Number 1 | Nov 2011 Management Training in Library School: Do Graduate Programs Prepare an Individual for Real World Demands? Susan A. Schreiner Access Services Librarian Pittsburg State University Barbara M. Pope Serials Librarian Pittsburg State University Abstract This article examines the perception of management curriculum in library schools from the perspective of practicing professional librarians and information specialists with a master’s degree in library science. The authors surveyed degreed librarians in academic, public, and special libraries in a variety of job types about their management training in library school, how useful they feel those courses were to them professionally, and whether they would have or wish they would have taken additional management courses if they had been offered. The results of this survey show that a decisive gap in management training is being felt by practicing librarians, and highlight the need for making management courses in library schools meet the real world demands of today – and tomorrow. 1 Management Training in Library School | Susan A. Schreiner and Barbara M. Pope Endnotes: The Journal of the New Members Round Table | Volume 2, Number 1 | Nov 2011 Methodology The study1 was conducted by creating a survey via SurveyMonkey and asking librarians to voluntarily respond. It targeted eight American Library Association (ALA) and Public Library Association (PLA) listservs2 that serve general library interests as well as specialized management interests. The survey specifically targeted librarians who had been out of library school for at least one year.3 In order to get a broad coverage of librarian types, surveys were sent out to listservs that serve library administrators, university librarians, college librarians, public librarians, and school librarians.
