Crystal Reports Collection Analysis River Bend Middle 1-800-245-9540 FAX: 1-800-369-5490 Email: [email protected] web site: www.mackin.com 3505 County Rd 42 West, Burnsville, MN 55306-3804 Collection Analysis Summary River Bend Middle Thank you for using Mackin's free Collection Analysis service. We will be contacting you to review the analysis and consult with you about free solutions to improve your collection. In the meantime, here is a summary of your analysis. In putting the analysis together, we first indicate the average age and number of titles in each part of your collection, then we compare it to a brand new "exemplary" collection that would meet size standards for the number of students in your school. You should then be able to see some of the potential problem areas in your collection and where the collection may fall short of standards. Obviously, what is exemplary for one school may not be completely right for another school, but this does give us a good starting point. You know better than we how your collection is used, so please adapt these recommendations as you see fit. The following summaries highlight the areas that seem the most in need of attention in the report on the next few pages. Please look at your report closely to determine detailed size, age and weeding needs. v With the information you supplied, we were able to successfully categorize 100% of your MARC records. v Throughout the collection, the average date of publication is 2008 or 13 years old. v The average age is 3 years older than recommended. v You currently have 18,693 titles in your collection, of which 18,691 were classified. v When looking at the overall balance of each Dewey section, additional titles needed are 1,592. v Overall your books per student is 15, while your goal is 10 books per student. This calculation does not include the "Unclassified" Category. v Size deficits are greatest in the 900s, 300s and 600s areas. v The oldest areas are the 400s, 500s and 600s. "Research consistently demonstrates that well-equipped, quality school library media centers with professional staff directly relate to the academic success of their students." --Keith Curry Lance, 2005 These facts may be helpful when presenting your analysis to others: v One of the primary features of the LSL program—increasing the size of the book collections—was significantly related to increased test scores. On average, each additional book per student that libraries obtained was associated with an increase of 0.44 percentage points in student test scores.¹ v Students are more likely to succeed when they have library programs that are well staffed, well funded, technologically well equipped, well stocked, and more accessible.² Reference: 1.

No one was safe from the conflict, and Earth, the home of all humanity, suffered heavy damage in the fighting. Almost all of Earth's population – once as many as ten billion people – was lost.

With the girl safely in his care, he returns to the mysterious gentleman, but when Tiffa sees the man, she's overcome with panic. Quickly judging the situation, Garrod takes her and escapes.

NEW TITLES The Generous Fish BY JACQUELINE JULES, ILLUSTRATED BY FRANCES TYRRELL Inspired by Jewish folklore, The Generous Fish is the story of a young boy named Reuven who takes a verse from scripture to “cast your bread upon the waters” (Ecclesiastes 11:1) quite literally. The result of his daily act is a giant talking fish with golden scales! Boy and fish spend idyllic days together until the villagers realize those scales are real gold. Every villager has good reason to ask for one. Devorah needs clothes for her children. Old Joseph needs money for a cane. The fish says he has plenty to share. But he grows weak from giving away too much, too fast. Can Reuven stand up to the village and save his friend? Jacqueline Jules is the author of forty books for young readers, including the award-winning Zapato Power series, Never Say a Mean Word Again: A Tale from Medieval Spain, and Feathers for Peacock. A former school librarian and teacher, Jacqueline enjoys visiting schools to share her passion for reading and writing. She is a word person, who loves rearranging words on the page, the same way people have fun fitting the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle together. Jacqueline lives in Arlington, Virginia.
