  • American Association of School Librarians. 2011. School Library Programs Improve Student Learning: Teachers. Chicago: ALA.
  • Student test scores were higher the more time librarians worked cooperatively with classroom teachers, the more they taught information literacy independently, and the more they provided in-service training to teachers.
