  2. School Library Collections & Educational Technology School libraries contribute two types of information resources to teaching and learning by school libraries: books and periodicals, and databases accessed via the Internet. This includes both free content on the World Wide Web and licensed databases to which the library must subscribe for a fee. Both types of resources exhibited persistent, positive influences on students’ test scores. http://www.islma.org/pdf/ILStudy2.pdf

It provides a framework to access, analyze, evaluate, create and participate with messages in a variety of forms — from print to video to the Internet.
