"What do students need in order to succeed? The latest research insists they need strong library programs. There is one clear and consistent finding that is supported by our research: a school library media program with a full-time library media specialist, support staff, and a strong computer network leads to higher student achievement."
Hamilton-Pennell, Christine, et.al. Dick and Jane Go to the Head of the Class, School Library Journal, April, 2000, p.44-47.
