Perspectives on School Librarian Employment in the United States, 2009-10 to 2018-19

By Keith Curry Lance & Debra E. Kachel

This study was funded by a Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian/Research in Service to Practice grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and conducted under the auspices of Antioch University Seattle. The data are from the Common Core of Data, the flagship data collection of the National Center for Education Statistics. Data for 2009-10 through 2018-19 were assessed, and substantial errors and omissions were addressed using state data sources. While these adjustments made little difference at the national level, they made a substantial difference in several states and districts.
