    10.

    11. Support Cont… ( Rusell 2000). The results of a study by the Library Service Center of the Colorado State: Library offer the most recent support for library media specialists and teachers working collaboratively.

Didier (1984) examines 38 of these studies, including Gaver's (1963) study of the impact of elementary library service on test scores; Greve's (1974) research on the effect of library service on the academic achievement of high school seniors; and Snider's (1965) investigation of the relationship between college success and knowledge of information skills.
