Characteristics of Public, Private, and Bureau of Indian Education Elementary and Secondary School Library Media Centers in the United States: Results from the 2007-08 Schools and Staffing Survey. First Look

摘要

This report presents selected findings from the library media center data files of the 2007-08 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS). SASS is a nationally representative sample survey of public, private, and Bureau of Indian Education-funded (BIE) K-12 schools, principals, and teachers in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The public school sample was designed so that national-, regional-, and state-level elementary, secondary, and combined public school estimates can be made. BIE schools were sampled with certainty, and thus national estimates for BIE schools can be produced. SASS is a school-based sample, so library media centers associated with public schools and with BIE schools were included.
