Principals Administrator Attitudes Media Specialists School Libraries Program Effectiveness Teacher Attitudes Administrator Role Educational Cooperation This descriptive research study examined principal support of collaboration in Georgia schools designated as having exemplary library media programs from the perspective of media specialists, classroom teachers and principals. A pilot study generated a survey instrument to be used for the exemplary school media program study. The literature on collaboration is well covered; however, literature about the principal's influence on collaboration is becoming an issue of concern.

Twelve schools, designated as meeting this criteria, received questionnaires mailed to media specialists, classroom teachers and principals. The hypothesis of the study explored schools with exemplary media programs and principals who support collaboration between media specialists and classroom teachers. The findings for the study supported the hypothesis. Based on the conclusions of the study, principals need to identify improvements to be made in their support of collaboration.
