Smith, Daniella – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2014
School librarian guidelines encourage active leadership in schools.

Oder, Norman – Library Journal, 2010

Borkum, Evan; He, Fang; Linden, Leigh L. – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2012

The estimates are sufficiently precise to rule out effects larger than 0.13 and 0.11 standard deviations based on the 95 and 90…
