An Analysis of the Time Use of Elementary School Library Media Specialists and Factors That Influence It.

Deusen, Jean Donham van

School Library Media Quarterly, v24 n2 p85-92 Win 1996

Elementary library media specialists in Iowa recorded their use of time for two days. Descriptive measures indicated nearly equal amounts of time for direct services and for management and operations activities. Automation, scheduling, support staff, and number of buildings served by the media specialist were found to have a significant influence on how time was used. (Author/AEF)
