Ross to the Rescue! Rutgers' Ross Todd's Quest to Renew School Libraries
Kenney, Brian
School Library Journal, v52 n4 p44 Apr 2006
This article presents an interview with Ross Todd, director of research at Rutgers University's Center for International Scholarship in School Libraries. Todd talks about the impact of the Ohio study, based on student's evaluation of their media centers, and his quest to renew school libraries. He stresses that part of the renewal and continuous improvement in school libraries has to stem from school librarians. Librarians have to think about what all of this research tells them, reflect on that, and decide what steps they can take today that can really enhance the role of school library in terms of students learning outcomes.
