Library Practices and Student Acievement Survey
Old Dominion University has received a grant from the Institute of Museum
and Library Services (IMLS) to investigate library practices and student
achievement. We believe that our study will be one of the first of its
kind in the field, since we are looking at student level data. The link
below is to a short survey about some of the elements we think might
contribute to student achievement. We hope that you will take a few
minutes of your time to complete the survey. As you open it, you will
see more information about what we are doing with this research study. I
hope you will be a part of it.

From AASL Task Force on NCLB:
My name is Ann Ewbank and I am the new chair of the AASL Task Force on
No Child Left Behind. As you may know, the American Library Association
has worked very hard to get a bill to Congress called the SKILLs Act (S.
1699). This bill would require that a state-certified school librarian
serve every public school, as part of No Child Left Behind.
We need North Carolinans’ help to ensure the inclusion of the
Strengthening Kids’ Interest in Learning and Libraries (SKILLs) Act in
the reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).
