The American Association of School Librarians (AASL) has recently released the results of the first longitudinal survey, School Libraries Count!
The survey, conducted in early 2007, gathered data in a number of areas, such as library staff, collections, technology, class visits, and budgets. AASL will be using the data to develop tools to help library media specialists advocate at the local, state and national level.
I’m sure the data will assist in the effective lobbying for the Strengthening Kids Interest in Learning & Libraries (SKILLS) Act.
