"The Krashen Studies Stepehen Krashen is one of the leading reading researchers and one of the most critical analysts of reading research. Both individually and with colleagues, he has studied the impact on academic achievement of school and public libraries as well as the availability of reading materials in the home. His studies show consistently that students who have access to more reading materials from all of these sources-and particularly materials on subjects that interest them-are more likely to read voluntarily, read in greater volume, read more often, and score better on achievement tests. Indeed, Krashen challenges head-on some of the most skeptical critics of studies linking school libraries and test scores."

"I turned to The Daring Librarian for insights and had the opportunity to interview her alter ego, Gwyneth Anne Jones, one of the Library Journal's Movers & Shakers of 2011. Gwyneth works as teacher-librarian in Laurel, Maryland, and serves on the ISTE Board of Directors. Widely recognized in the Web 2.0 circuit, Gwyneth is known for her outgoing presence and professional generosity. She calls herself an "enthusiastic champion of transliteracy, creative commons, open source, shameless sharing" and "fearless fighter of filters!""
