| contents | Trend Analysis of Indiana K-12 Library Services Since the School Library Printed Materials Grant Plucker, Jonathan Humphrey, Jack Simmons, Ada Ravert, Russell Kohler, Kristin Hansen, John Trend Analysis Elementary Secondary Education Enrollment Library Services Surveys Comparative Analysis Grants The Indiana General Assembly recognized the importance of updating school library book collections by appropriating $4 million for K-8 schools during the 1997-1999 school years, $6 million for K-12 schools during the 1999-2001 school years, and $6 million for K-12 schools for the 2001-2003 school years. However, due to state budgetary restraints, only $3 million was provided in the 2001-2002 school year and no funds were provided for the 2002-2003 school year nor for subsequent school years. The 2002 report indicated that funding provided between 1997 and 2001 resulted in a sharp increase in purchases and circulation, but that those numbers had either leveled or begun to dip in the partially-funded cycle (Plucker et al., 2002). This report reviews the current state of library services in Indiana public schools in light of these developments, as well as trends in school enrollment and book purchasing and circulation. Two types of data analysis were utilized in preparing this report. Survey results (n = 3,111) from Indiana public schools serving children in kindergarten through eighth grade were compared across 2000, 2002, and 2004 school years, using analysis of variance methods. In addition, the comments of 185 Indiana public school librarians in response to an open-ended question on the 2004 survey were analyzed. The report includes text, tables, and graphs illustrating both sets of analyses, as well as representative quotes from survey respondents. The results provide evidence that school libraries are unable to maintain the levels of book purchases and circulation that were seen during the fully-funded 2000 cycle. They report experiencing a great deal of financial stress, uncertainty, and difficulty maintaining services and supporting programmatic initiatives that are viewed as important to state academic goals. The following are appended: (1) 2004 Survey; and (2) Grade Level Taught in Schools by Survey Year. (Contains 6 tables and 6 figures.) |
