The relationship between library media factors and test scores is not explained away by other school or community conditions. The study was a follow-up to a 1993 study. This first study demonstrated that quality library media programs led to higher student test scores. It corroborates the original findings as well as evaluating the role of the school librarian media specialist and the relationship between better school library services and better student performance. Similar recent studies for Alaska and Pennsylvania also support these findings.
