The 2015 Australian and New Zealand School Library Survey Report

Last week The 2015 Australian and New Zealand School Library Survey Report was released.

The survey examines key trends and issues impacting school libraries.

The 2015 report represents the sixth year of the survey for Australian schools and the first for New Zealand schools.

The report concluded:-

“The 2015 report findings continue to support a positive relationship between budget, staffing and student achievement. The findings indicate that literacy levels are higher for those schools that support and invest in their school libraries, staffing and resources.

In today’s digital world, whether a school is part of a large education consortia or a small independent, initiatives for the discovery and delivery of learning resources will require investment to support 21st century eLearning."
