Abstract
The ability to demonstrate the impact that school libraries have on learning is becoming increasingly important. This article reports on a recent project undertaken in England by the Centre for Information Research (CIRT) on behalf of the Department for Education and Skills (DfES). The project involved a survey of school library staff, teachers, and headteachers and resulted in the production of draft self-evaluation models for English school libraries that will allow school librarians to demonstrate to teachers, governors, inspectors, and others the contribution that their services can make to teaching, learning, and attainment levels. The research team also investigated current evaluation practices and identified a number of issues that need to be addressed to ensure the successful adoption of the models in schools.
