Book Synopsis Reading Still Matters by : Catherine Sheldrick Ross
Download or read book Reading Still Matters written by Catherine Sheldrick Ross and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on scholarly research findings, this book presents a cogent case that librarians can use to work towards prioritization of reading in libraries and in schools. Reading is more important than it has ever been—recent research on reading, such as PEW reports and Scholastic's "Kids and Family Reading Report," proves that fact. This new edition of Reading Matters provides powerful evidence that can be used to justify the establishment, maintenance, and growth of pleasure reading collections, both fiction and nonfiction, and of readers' advisory services. The authors assert that reading should be woven into the majority of library activities: reference, collection building, provision of leisure materials, readers' advisory services, storytelling and story time programs, adult literacy programs, and more. This edition also addresses emergent areas of interest, such as e-reading, e-writing, and e-publishing; multiple literacies; visual texts; the ascendancy of young adult fiction; and fan fiction. A new chapter addresses special communities of YA readers. The book will help library administrators and personnel convey the importance of reading to grant-funding agencies, stakeholders, and the public at large. LIS faculty who wish to establish and maintain courses in readers' advisory will find it of particular interest.

Book excerpt: Tracing the evolution of the library as a modern institution from the late eighteenth century to the digital era, this book explores the diverse practices by which Americans have shared reading matter for instruction, edification, and pleasure. Writing from a rich variety of perspectives, the contributors raise important questions about the material forms and social shapes of American culture. What is a library? How have libraries fostered communities of readers and influenced the practice of reading in particular communities? How did the development of modern libraries alter the boundaries of individual and social experience, and define new kinds of public culture? To what extent have libraries served as commercial enterprises, as centers of power, and as places of empowerment for African Americans, women, and ...
Book Synopsis Teacher and Librarian Partnerships in Literacy Education in the 21st Century by : Joron Pihl
Download or read book Teacher and Librarian Partnerships in Literacy Education in the 21st Century written by Joron Pihl and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-22 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores teacher and librarian partnerships in literacy education, showing that such partnerships are essential to literacy education in 21st century. Teacher and librarian partnerships contribute significantly to the realization of the democratic mandate of the teaching and library profession. Partnerships respond to the educational challenges characterized by an unprecedented pace of knowledge development, digitalization, globalization and extensive transnational migration. The contributors reconceptualize literacy education based on teacher and librarian partnerships. Studies from Sweden, Norway and the U.K. analyze such partnerships as sociocultural and intercultural practices, documenting ways in which teacher and librarian partnerships in literacy education enhance reading literacy, learning, empowerment and social justice. The authors treat literacies as social practices, rather than as an autonomous skill, working with interdisciplinary perspectives that draw on educational research, New Literacy Studies, library and information science and interprofessional studies. Partnerships facilitate reading for pleasure and reading engagement in work with school subjects and curriculum goals, irrespective of socio-economic or cultural background or gender. The partnerships facilitate work with multimodal literacies and inquiry-based learning, both of which are essential in the 21st century. Equally important, the contributors show that the partnerships foster work with the multiple literacies of students and communities, and students’ attachment to the public and school library. The contributors also analyze tensions and contradictions in literacy education and in school library policy and practice, and attempts to deal with these challenges. Teacher and Librarian Partnerships in Literacy Education in the 21st Century brings together leading scholars in educational research and literacy studies, including Brian V. Street, Teresa Cremin, Joan Swann and Joron Pihl. The volume addresses scholars, and is relevant for students, teachers, librarians and politicians.

Book Synopsis A Study of the Role of the Elementary School Librarian in Reading Instruction in the Region II, Education Service Center Area of Texas by : Vanessa Jane Earp
Download or read book A Study of the Role of the Elementary School Librarian in Reading Instruction in the Region II, Education Service Center Area of Texas written by Vanessa Jane Earp and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research project was to study the role of elementary school librarians in reading instruction in Region II, Education Service Center area of Texas. By using school web sites and telephoning schools it was found that 51 of the 104 elementary schools did indeed have school librarians while 46 did not. The study found that 7 shared a librarian between campuses. Scores from these 104 elementary schools TAKS reading test were collected from the 2004-2005 School Report Cards found on the Texas Education Agency Web Site. To determine if schools with librarians scored higher on the TAKS an ANOVA was run using SPSS. An ANOVA was used instead of a T-Test because there were three grouping variables (schools with a librarian, schools without a librarian, and schools that shared a librarian). The ANOVA showed no significant difference in the scores on the TAKS Reading Test. (F (2,100) = 2.67, p = 0.074). These findings could be due to other reasons, such as teacher to pupil ratio or differences in how schools prepare for the TAKS Reading Test. These findings are different than findings in other states such as Colorado, Alaska, and Pennsylvania where studies conducted found that having strong school libraries and librarians increased test scores. An electronic questionnaire was sent out to the 51 librarians to gather information on their knowledge of reading instruction and their roles in reading instruction in their specific schools. There were 28 respondents which provided a 54% response rate. Most of the librarians had some knowledge of phonics 23 (82%), whole language 21 (75%), and balanced literacy 21 (75%). While the librarians showed knowledge of reading instruction methods 16 (57%) stated they do not help with reading instruction in their school and 12 (46%) stated they would not want to be involved with reading instruction. Questionnaire is appended. [MS Graduate Research Project, Texas A&M University-Kingsville.].

Book excerpt: This work skeptically explores the notion that the internet will soon obviate any need for traditional print-based academic libraries. It makes a case for the library's staying power in the face of technological advancements (television, microfilm, and CD-ROM's were all once predicted as the contemporary library's heir-apparent), and devotes individual chapters to the pitfalls and prevarications of popular search engines, e-books, and the mass digitization of traditional print material.
