I contacted the parish library supervisor before Christmas of 2000 and she
determined the sites to be included in the study. She selected an elementary, a middle
school, and a high school in the parish. In order to preserve anonymity, the sites are
called the Elementary School, the Middle School and the High School. The participants
are referred to as to as the Superintendent, the Library Supervisor, the College Professor,
the Elementary School Principal, the Middle School Principal, the High School Principal,
the Elementary School Library Media Specialist (ESLMS), the Middle School Library
Media Specialist (MSLMS), the High School Library Media Specialist 1 (HSLMS1), the
High School Library Media Specialist 2 (HSLMS2) and the Classroom Teacher.
