Recent school library impact studies have also identified, and generated some evidence about, potential "interventions" that could be studied. The questions might at first appear rather familiar: How much, and how, are achievement and learning improved when . . . librarians collaborate more fully with other educators? libraries are more flexibly scheduled? administrators choose to support stronger library programs (in a specific way)? library spending (for something specific) increases?

A great overview of Lance's research into the effectiveness of libraries. He answers the question: Do school libraries or librarians make a difference?

Anyone interested in 21st century teaching and learning will find this interview fascinating.
