Library
Media Survey Results
The New Hampshire Educational Media Association
(NHEMA) Board, in partnership with the Office of Educational Technology
at the New Hampshire Department of Education, released an online
Library Media Survey in February 2007. Its purpose was to obtain
baseline data about New Hampshire public school library media centers.
Survey results can provide information for decision making on library
initiatives by the NHEMA Board, the NH Department of Education, and
other state policymakers and educational leaders.
Who completed the survey? It was
recommended that the online survey (via Survey Monkey) be completed
by your school's certified library media specialist (LMS). For schools
with more than one LMS, just one survey per library media center
was requested. If there was no certified LMS, the staff member designated
as the head library staff person was asked to complete the survey.
