Study: Good School Libraries Affect Test Scores Columbia, SC (WLTX) - A study released Tuesday by the South Carolina Association of School Librarians shows that the more emphasis is put on school libraries--and the learning that takes place there--the better scores students receive on standardized tests.

Getting the Word Out: A Crash Course in Program Marketing What a way to end your first day on a new job! Jamie Lattimer, Coordinator of Cataloging Services at Urbana University’s Swedenborg Memorial Library, cautiously pointed to a stack of three ring notebooks and said “those tell you about a Ben Franklin project that we are supposed to do in August.” August? That was only six months away. It took me several weeks to find time to open the notebooks and find out that Urbana University had been selected to host the national traveling exhibit, “Benjamin Franklin: In Search of a Better World” put together by the Ben Franklin Tercentenary and the American Library Association Public Programs Office. Talk about a crash course in publicity as well as exhibit management!
