Week 9 Website Abstract - Evaluating School Library Media Programs

Michigan school librarians now have the SL21 document to help them survey their library programs. For even more feedback, school librarians can also participate in the ALA’s School Libraries Count program. This survey allows data to be collected and compared nationwide, which is helpful to see where improvements can be made nationwide. If you participate in this survey, you can also obtain a report of your school’s information and how you compare to other schools in your state and in the nation. An independent third party conducts the survey, and there is no cost to participate or to obtain the report with your school’s information. I think this would be a great tool for school librarian’s to use along with the SL21.
