Brandes, Barbara Elementary Secondary Education Futures (of Society) Learning Resources Centers Library Collection Development Library Expenditures Library Facilities Library Materials Library Personnel Library Services Library Statistics Library Surveys School Libraries State Surveys Tables (Data) The California State Department of Education conducted a special study of the condition of library media centers in the state's schools during the 1985-86 school year. Coordinated with a concurrent nationwide study conducted by the U.S. Department of Education, this study surveyed a random sample of 1,560 elementary, intermediate, and secondary schools in rural, small city, suburban, and urban areas; the response rate was 63%. This report presents both the state and national findings and recommendations in five areas: (1) library media facilities, including information on schools with centralized libraries, the size and capacity of libraries, and the use of library facilities; (2) staffing patterns and the number of libraries without professional staff; (3) services provided by library media centers; (4) collections and equipment, including information on numbers of books, subscriptions, and audiovisual materials, and on the quality of library media collections; and (5) budgets and expenditures other than salaries and wages, including summary statistics for six case-study schools. The report concludes with a discussion of the future of library media services in California schools. (MES) |
