The need for this effort by school library media centers was established in the agency’s federal Massachusetts Long-Range Plan, 1998-2002 and is a requirement for schools wishing to participate in the Library Services Technology Act (LSTA) Direct Grant funding program.

In the fall of 1998, the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners awarded the LSTA grant for a project entitled ‘Consultant for School Library Media Center Planning Project.’  This project has two major objectives:

To provide a workbook for school library media specialists to assist them in the development of a long-range plan that would meet the requirements of the Massachusetts Long-Range Plan, 1998-2002, and

To prepare a training process for regional library staff to use in assisting the schools in the development of a long-range school library media center plan.

To help achieve the first major objective, six Focus Group meetings (one in each Regional Library System area) were held during the fall with school library media specialists, school administrators, and other interested parties. They provided the field input and ultimately validated much of the information gathered from state standards, national standards, and regional guidelines. Participants are listed in the acknowledgements on the previous page. In addition, participants at the state conferences for the Massachusetts School Library Media Association and the Massachusetts Computer Users and Educators were surveyed.
