The study was conducted by The Center for International Scholarship in School Libraries at Rutgers. "The findings showed that New Jersey school libraries and the work of school librarians contribute in rich and diverse ways to the intellectual life of a school, and to the development of students who can learn and function in a rich, complex and increasingly digital information environments. It concluded that school libraries in New Jersey that are staffed by certified school librarians provide common information grounds for supporting learning across the school through engagement with information, with particular emphasis on developing students' abilities to interact with information and to use it to learn well, and in addition, is a critical dimension in supporting reading and literacy development in the schools."
