[CASL-L] Data supports LMS impact

[Crowley, John]

Thanks, Irene, for keeping us in the know.
This was my reaction, posted on the SLJ site:
This is an important contribution to research. However, Barbara Stripling's comment, "although some principals still recognize the value of highly qualified librarians in these tough economic times, many more have no qualms about getting rid of them," is crucial in understanding how to stem the tide of job elimination. Your local principal has to be convinced that you are central to his/her vision. This is why I wrote my book in 1994 and revised it this year. http://www.abc-clio.com/product.aspx?isbn=9781591588917
