  • 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.
