contents Maximum Utilization of School Library Resources. Wight, Lillian Grossman, A. Elementary Education Elementary School Students Elementary School Teachers Inservice Teacher Education Librarians Library Instruction Library Role Library Skills School Libraries Team Teaching The provision of a full-time teacher librarian at Westbrook elementary school under an educational opportunities fund project has made the library a functional, integral part of the total education program of the school. The full-time appointment enables the librarian to provide inservice activities for teachers, and to teach study and research skills as well as an appreciation of good literature. These activities have enabled both students and teachers to get maximum use of both the print and nonprint resources in the library. Shifts have occurred from teacher oriented to student oriented use, from a single text to a multimedia approach, and from scheduled to flexible usage. The library has become a workshop, a classroom, and a research center. Since the institution of the program, students in grades 4, 5, and 6 have shown mean increases on subtests of the Standard Reading Achievement Test, Canadian Test of Basic Skills, and Library Skills Test. Results from the tests used to measure student progress are appended. (Author/JPF)
