It suggests that school personnel, particularly the principal and library media specialist, rather than school size or type of physical facilities, are the most important variables in determining the quality and quantity of elementary school media center use. Twenty-four open space and twenty-four self contained randomly selected elementary schools located within nine school districts in north central Colorado constitute the experimental sample. (STS)
