contents When Schools Close, the Knowledge Gap Grows Celano, Donna Neuman, Susan B. Neighborhoods Low Income Computer Uses in Education Computers Public Libraries School Closing Achievement Gap Academic Achievement Children In a study conducted by the authors regarding children's use of library books and computers during the summer, the authors found that children in low-income and middle-income neighborhoods use such resources differently. Although the authors found that both sets of children used public libraries heavily, wealthier children were exposed to more print in books, used more educational computer applications, and received more adult support. The findings suggest an unequal use of information resources may lead to a widening knowledge gap between low- and middle-income children. (Contains 11 endnotes.)
